A pretty car can also be reliable, durable, dependable, comfortable and efficient.
A pretty car costs no more than a bland/ugly car.
People who buy bland/ugly cars aren't put off by pretty cars.
Yet, some people are put off by bland/ugly cars, and will only buy cars that they percieve as pretty.

People that don't buy this car...but see it on the street will say...."Chevy makes ugly cars".....or if were pretty, they would say....."Chevy makes pretty cars".

I thought it and the Monte were sticking to Fwd since the bulk of family sedans are built on a Fwd platform nowadays (even AWD ones are mostly Fwd based). Rwd would be a welcome, but i would be VERY surprised if they actually made the switch.

The new Monte Carlo is on that site as well. The back of it look alot like the current car. I'd say they are FWD.

Looks like the current 17" SS wheels are the '06 LTZ wheels.

I think is looks a lot better too. I'm not 100% on the front bumper, but I assume the V6 modles will look a little different.

The new Impala is looking to be a nice series of improvements, I expect a big increase in sales. Looks better than the #1 selling car the Camry. It also has a better engine line up and nicer interior.
