Chevy 100: Sneak Peek at the Next Impala?

Re: Chevy 100: Sneak Peek at the Next Impala?
In the rear it looks very Audi A7'ish. It would be kinda cool to see the Impala end up with a non-traditional sedan silouette like that. Not too sure what else it could be other than the Impala. It doesnt look like a small car to me, although the greenhouse looks a little narrow.

Re: Chevy 100: Sneak Peek at the Next Impala?
I paid attention to this while watching the show....
I think it looks goofey, though the hood looks like it might be kind of cool in a Shelby Mustang kind of way.
Impala never even crossed my mind, I figured it was just some sort of car what was in development that might never go any further forward, or perhaps it is a show car / concept car model.
The rear is too goofey, IMHO, to see production without significant change.

Interestingly, the large life sized rendering of the side profile of the car next to the clay mock up shows the rear fenders flaring out around the wheels. But the mock up fenders are flat.
I am hoping that the tail lights and some of the body lines are still a work in progress.

Almost certainly not an Impala or Malibu.
Too big to be a Cruze.
Process of elimination seems to indicate an RWD Alpha based car or a FWD sedan positioned between the Malibu and Cruze.
Chevy is supposed to get a sports sedan within a few years, so I'd place my bets with the former over the latter.

Next gen. Volt? I re-watched the show last night, there is a clip earlier in the show where Welburn is standing next to this car covered up. He was talking about aerodynamics and the next generation of batteries for the Volt. Hmmmm.

I like Guy's Chevy Alpha suggestion.

Chevrolet needs a new name for this thing...If the Traverse name wasn't already taken, that would have been a good name for this A7-ish looking thing. There's a piece of me that's kinda hoping Chevrolet will nip at the heels of both Subaru and higher marques by doing an 'allroad' thing with it.

I don't know that 'Monza' was ever a name from Chevrolet that was heralded or well respected. I mean, sure, it was a rear-drive, V8 coupe/notchback but wasn't it severely crippled in terms of power--having anything from a 4-cylinder to a ridiculously detuned 350?
That said, I always liked them. I had the Olds version of the monza with a 350 and a rearend with the spider gears welded, it was a treacherous little car but loads of fun.

The 3.6 V6 (now at 320hp) is more in the spirit of the Monza V8 and would make a car that size and purpose far more than just a little bit entertaining.
