My company just got me an ‘09 Chevy Impala. This is a very nice car, much nicer than any car I have personally owned.
I just had one of those as a loaner while my 2004 Silverado truck was in for repairs. Even though it was a “stripped down” model I still thought it was a nice car. Nice seats, nice stereo, nice climate controls. Better than any other Chevrolet car I have driven (with the exception of the 2006 Corvette I got to try out a while back) in 20 years.
It was a bit underpowered, and the suspension was too soft for my taste, but it is built on the same basic platform as my much better handling/more powerful Saab 9-5 and there IS a family resemblence, even if somewhat diluted.
