I like the current Impala better than this "new" one.

Ouch. I actually liked the old Impala, even though it's styling has gotten old. This is just blech. The headlights on this and the new Malibu just have no....I don't know. they just seem like these randomly shaped blobs thrown on the front.

No. Still a W-car.

But one look at this car almost crushes any hope I have for the Chevy Zetas.

I like it! Looks pretty good. Not as sharp-edged as the last one. Looks like they smoothed it out more.
I like the headlights actualy. Something about the grill that is odd...reminds me of the old Lumina's and Monte's, but still very clean. I like it. I hope to see the rear end of it.

Re: Undisguised 2006 Impala pic.

I like the cleaness of the side of the car but I hate to say this but it looks like an evolution of a Lumina and looks boring the headlights would have looked good with a cobalt like grill but this is just boring looking. Maybe it will grow on me though. But this car does look cleaner and more refined when I first saw it I was like what is it? Is it a Chevy but the sides I can see Chevy in definately and the front headlight area looks to have an upgraded lumina nose. The side i love just the nose needed more character.

Re: Undisguised 2006 Impala pic.

Is that an SS emblem on the door?

BTW, does anyone see the resemblance to the previous gen Altima....even down to the wheels?

that is a link to the pic.

Malibu has much larger lights. I would actualy like these lights on the Malibu. GM went a little to far with the upper part, and I think thats what gives the Malibu taht "BUG" eyed look.

Re: Undisguised 2006 Impala pic.

too cobaltish
i like the old one way more
the wheels need to go and the chrome grille outlines could go too
the headlights look civic-like to me
