Re: Which is sportier?

I gotta go with the Impala SS. The Avalon has some weird angles in it's lines that just don't flow IMO.

The Impala front end is Bland, as said, but the rest of the car IS sporty looking. The rear looks MUCH better the previous!...
The Avalon does have some weird angles on the front, not as sporty, but classier.

Re: Which is sportier?

Avalon just because it appears less bland/generic to me. Its lines are more bold and the lines have more edge to them on the Avalon. So out of those two, i'd say the Avalon looks more sporty. But that doesn't mean the avalon looks better (though the imp won't win any beauty contests either).

Re: Which is sportier?

As far as sedans go, i think the benz CLS has the sportiest lines. It's so sleek.

Re: Which is sportier?

Gotta admit, the SRT-8 looks mean....and ugly.
But heh, it's got a HEMI!...

What about the Altima or Maxima, way sportier than both, and sexier than the "Charger".

Imo, they're both ugly. I've always hated the Altima's looks, and haven't like the Maxima ever since the 2004 redesign.

I agree. IMO the CLS is the hottest looking car available.

Yep. I used to think bland was better than ugly, but this comparison proves that to be untrue. The Charger has some awkward lines IMO, but at least it has lines. I'm close to saying that the 04+ Grand Prix looks better than the new Impala.
Still, I think the car will be successful. Americans seem to have little problem with bland.

Re: Which is sportier?

I choose the Impy.

The Toy looks strange.

Re: Which is sportier?

The Impala is really going for bland, but I like the Charger. The Toyota looks like a bloated GS.

Re: Which is sportier?

Is it me or does the Avalon look way more expensive then the impy?

Is it? The impala looks dirt cheep compared to the avalon's more majestic look.

And I cant say wich one looks sportier, they both dont look sporty at all to me neither.

Re: Which is sportier?

Impala easy. The Avalon just doesn't look quite right. A lot better than the last one though.

I think this is a much better looking FWD Sedan then both of those = http://a332.g.akamai.net/f/332/936/1...20023291-E.jpg

It's the rims. Avalons have more of a classy Buick feel to them.

technically the Avalon does cost more too.

Impala SS. Avalon front end and sides look awkward.
