Chevrolet Impala
Chevrolet introduced the Impala in 1958 as a high-style, top-of-the-line two-door hardtop and convertible. The next year, four-door hardtops and sedans were added. The Impala Super Sport arrived for 1961, and its top-gun, 409-cubic-inch V-8 was quickly immortalized in a song by The Beach Boys. The fancier Caprice full-size sedan appeared in 1965, but Chevy still sold hundreds of thousands of Impalas annually. GM downsized its big cars for 1977, and the new, smaller Impala was a trend-setter, helping reverse Detroit’s inclination toward longer, lower and wider. The Impala faded away after 1985, but made an unexpected return as the muscular 1994-1996 Impala SS. In 2000, it was reintroduced as a front-drive sedan. The latest Impala debuted for 2014, but with the heart of the market shifting to crossovers and SUVs, this traditional full-size sedan finds itself out of today’s mainstream.

Today’s Impala, introduced as a 2014 model, was a substantial upgrade from the previous generation. New styling added visual interest, and the better-finished interior provided the room expected in a full-size American car. This Impala rode GM’s newer Epsilon front-drive chassis, offered

The Impala was redesigned for 2006 with smooth, but not particularly memorable, styling. Like the 2000 model, the ’06 ran on GM’s W-platform front-drive chassis, which wasn’t far removed from the hardware in the 1990 Chevrolet Lumina. Most Impalas ran V-6 engines (a

2000–05 Impala
The Impala returned for 2000 as a roomy front-drive sedan, replacing the Lumina. The new car’s styling received mixed reviews; the look may be best remembered for its quartet of large, round taillights. Originally 3.4- and 3.8-liter V-6s were the only engine choices, but in
