2012 Chevrolet Impala


Behold the 2012 Chevrolet Impala facelift, meant to revitalize the car until it's replacement comes in the "near future". Basically, this is the facelift equivalent of shaving. Or growing stubble, if chrome mesh equates manliness.

Not fugly in the truest sense of the word, but if the automotive design world evolved at the same rate as the Impala cars would still have fenders separate from the body(no offense, Caterham). At least the car also gains some much needed improvements under the skin, including a more powerful and fuel efficient V6 3.6L engine that makes similar power to the previous V8 SS, and two extra gears in the automatic transmissions (bringing the number to a finally current 6 gears).

Drive one today at your nearest Hertz rent-a-car.
