Description

An old Chevrolet name earns a moderate update for the 2006 model year that includes the addition of a small-block V-8 powertrain. Introduced at the 2005 Greater Los Angeles Auto Show, the latest Impala front-wheel-drive sedan remains related to the company's Monte Carlo midsize coupe. Four trim levels are available: LS, LT, LTZ and SS. Suspensions have been retuned, and track width (the distance between wheels) is greater. Inside, innovative flip-and-fold rear seat cushions reveal a covered storage area and include grocery bag hooks. The rear seatback folds down to create a pass-thru into the trunk. Interiors also display improved seat-upholstery stitching, low-gloss instrument-panel components and jewellike dashboard details.
