I couldn’t agree more. I love my 2017 I bought new and today she looks amazing. I still have dealerships and garages I do my oil change in amazement to how new she still looks under the hood inside and outside. I don’t have a garage and I live in New England. I test drove many cars back in 2017. I wasn’t shopping for an Impala. Although I had 2 new 1 in 2002 and another in 2005 Fully loaded LS models the 2005 was the Sport Package. I was shopping for the New Camry, or New Fun Honda Civic, New Sonata, and After 5 test drives I drove to the Chevy dealership down the street from my home. I said I should try the new Malibu. After the Malibu test drive I knew I was on the right track. When I came back in the lot I spotted the Siren Red tint Coat with the pano roof, the wheels I loved it was both Sporty looking and I knew it would be even more quiet and smooth than the Malibu for less money! I knew Chevy would make a better deal on the Impala that had a sticker of $36K. I said I wanna drive this one. I didn’t even drove off the lot and I was in love. And I still am over 3 a half years later. I didn’t even know I was driving the 2.5 4 Cylinder model. I was like NO Way! The car is eager to go and gets 23mpg average and it has start/stop feature. I just hit 13K and now the Start/Stop is working more in the cooler months were the first 3 winters it never stopped running. I think I know why now. This was to help with the Break in of the engine. I did want push button Start and Heated Seats but it wasn’t deal breaker as I had this giant Pano Roof and 4G LTE WIFI Car Play and Android Auto. Great Back up camera, And so much room interior and trunk. I made an offer of $24K no trade. I was in shock when the sales man came back and said $25..7K I didn’t think they’d go below $29K. Now I knew the car was mine and I counter offered $25K he said we can have it ready in 2 hours! And they Did! I added the ceramic Coating with Lifetime warranty from scratch/dings, window crack, interior rips, or fades. I said this is a NO Brainer! ANd Transferable for 7 full years to second owners. I still cannot believe this is a 4 cylinder car. High Compression Engine. The sad part of owning this car is the Service Dept. who don’t know how to treat good customers. 3 new cars and they could careless. If you ask a question always a smart remark. I do service with GMC/Buick around the corner who treat customers with respect. It’s not hard to Smile and say Thank You.
@@gene978 Great review, although you shoulda gone V6 for long term durability. I got a 2019 Loaded LT, with no pesky Stop Start. If I didn't mind that I woulda went LaCrosse.
@@gene978 excuse me what made you decide to choose the Impala over the Camry was it the ride quality performance between the 2 that made you go with the Impala instead
@@mitchellcole832 yep no American cares about Buick the Chinese love them for some reason. In the 80s and 90s when all they had was small fwd cars i think larger rwd soft steering buicks were a big deal over there, just a guess and now its still a big deal over there to own one even though the car is nothing what it was like when they fell in love with them.
I actually have a 2016 impala and I like it alot. They say everyone wants trucks and SUV. The American car company's cant sell cars. The top 5 selling cars are foriegn cars . It's a shame we are going down and will never be what we used to be.
The Honda Accord sold an average of over 300,000 per year through out the 2010’s Decade... The Impala averaged roughly 100,000 INCLUDING FLEET SALES. Honda does not sell their cars to rental companies. That is why GM is giving up. Because Honda, Toyota, and Nissan are just overall the better reliable option.
For the record, fool Foreign cars are more American than “American” cars which is assembled in México and Cánada and oh yeah CHINA meanwhile the Japanese big three got factories in Kentucky, Ohio and Tennessee respectively (Camry, Accord, and Altima among others) and Hyundai and Kia got factories in Sweet Home Alabama and Georgia respectively so need I say more
The Chevrolet Impala has been one of my favorite cars my whole life. The first car I remember my Dad owning was a 64. I had a 90's variant. Currently drive one of it's cousins a 2012 Lacrosse. I don't want an suv I want a car!
Just had this for a rental in Florida for a month was 100 percent satisfied with the space & the ride. Makes most SUV's look bad. Good job on your reviews always like your honesty. Keep it up.
I have an 18 LT. This is the best car I have ever owned. This is from a dude that has owned a Honda, Toyota, Lexus and BMW. Sad this is the last year :(
I have a 2014 LT midnight blue impala with 165,000 miles (my first car and was given to me by my dad) I love it so much and it STILL has no problems at all. It’s quiet, and powerful and has so so so much room. My dad has the 2019 LT impala and we are so sad to see them go.
red hat club weeeeeeeeellll that’s depends. Me as an average minimum wage worker, I was able to afford a brand new car because I’m by myself with no responsibilities with a full ride to college. It just depends on the circumstances. But your mostly right tho because that’s just a small percentage.
@@patcurrie9888 well i don't think thats true. You still have V6 powered sedans but gasoline powered engines are going away one day entirely. But GM might bring this car one day as an electric car. They are in talks of bringing an electric sedan into market. Even if it's not named "Impala" which i think it should be named, if history repeats itself... again, SUV phase will settle down one day.
The premier is almost 40k..... for that price it needs to be a SS..... they should take the vette engine make the Impala rear wheel drive and they'd sell more than their Silverado's.
The Corsica was like neo-Malaise. It had stylish sheet metal but underneath lurked the heart of a Citation. Unlike the Beretta, and similar sized cars in the GM lineup (Grand Am, Skylark, Cutlass Calais, and Acheiva), it never got the Quad 4 engine.
Dae Dae I know it sounds weird but the impala used to be a badass V8 rwd car and I think if they brought that back and changed the design a little it could be something great. But they won’t because Chevy can’t get their heads outta their asses lately.
@@nobodysomeone4098 the design is nice now. Put the V8 back in and show off the dual exhaust instead of hiding it and it can go head to head with the charger.
I rented an Impala recently and was surprised how well it drove-very smooth, powerful, and quiet. The drivetrain and chassis are fantastic and clearly tons of engineering went into them. The body is uninspiring but not offensive. My only major complaint were the overly contoured/lumpy seats which were some of the most uncomfortable I’ve ever sat in, and would prevent me from ever owning one. Torturous seats aside, disappointed to see it go.
Manufacturers are getting rid of V6 cars, Impala owners were 75% of V6, so they had to cancel it. Avalon was the last on the chopping block and now Camry won't get V6 anymore. Mary Barra doesn't head up Toyota. Camaro the end of 2023 model, since 4 Cycl was a tiny fraction too. Chrysler is ending the Challenger and Charger after 2024. Mary doesn't run Chrysler either.
Absolutely LOVE my 2015 LTZ!!! It's that same Burgundy, & has the all Black interior with Leather. Also has the optional (for LTZ's & Premier's only) 20" RQ9 wheels. Only option I don't have is the "Radar-Cruise". Again.....I LOVE this car!!! 46,000mi as of 3-10-20. It ONLY sees Top-Tier/NO Ethanol/Premium. Seafoam once a month too!!!!
thanx for info..l own a 2015 impala..v6..50,000 mi...just got back to oregon from ariz.. car ran spectacular..was passing alotta cars and motorhomes on way...50 to 90 mph in less time than eye blinking...and smooth..just looking to upgrade one baddass car to a newer one!!
These prices are stupid ridiculous!! The type of person that would like to purchase this vehicle only makes $ 30,000 to $40,000 a year the price is absolutely nuts!! Just two years ago the Impala started out at $ 25, 500? A $12,000 jump in price in two years? These people are insane!!
I just had one as a rental...I liked the styling inside and out...plenty of room...the ride was quiet and smooth, ample power. Didn’t like the visibility from the very small side-view mirrors and tiny rear window....though the rear camera takes care of backing up....didn’t like the transmission...was not smooth at low speeds...felt occasional shifting clunks at lower speeds. The fit and finish inside and out was quite impressive. Overall 7/10 car. I would expect you can get huge discounts on this car....since it’s not an SUV.
Same here, I'm up too 82k miles on mine. Still running strong but I have looked at used and saw some 2014/15 close to 200k miles on them, one even had 220k and selling for $6k.
@@dirkdiggler2695 wpw that's cheap. When summer comes I'll probably drive my 2wd truck and let the Impala sit. This is honestly the first car I'd buy again. Maybe a white or silver LTZ on 20s if I could find one low miles.
@@jeremiahcharles5526 I'm sure I'll be over 100k by the end of Summer. Just had a new windshield put in and new tint again. Video will be out later this morning!
Big mistake by GM to discontinue this car. I'd buy it. Rented one and it was one of the nicest cars I've ever driven. Have to spend over $50k to find something that rides this nice.
@@patcurrie9888 - Because "Americans" are FAT, LAZY AND OLD for the most part. They HAVE to feed their egos with big trucks and SUVs. Most - not all, but most.
I applaud you GOLD PONY for Reviewing the Last interation of this GEN Impala. Such a Shame we’re losing this car. I would of loved to seen the new version that was slated to take it’s place. I own this same exact model you’re driving same color and wheel with Pano Roof. Quiet, Smooth, I get 23MPG and no highway driving. Many traffic lights daily 10 I go through. And she handles. So much room everywhere. They did this one right. People can save $10K off sticker like I did back in July 2017 when I bought mine. If they say no, walk out go somewhere else or better yet do it over the web internet sales. Again, Thank you for making this video.
I love my Red Impala with the Pano Sunroof. in 2017 I saved alomst $10K off sticker on a brand new model. After Testing 5 other sedans when I went to test drive the Impala in Drive I knew with in 2 feet of driving I was driving it home. This car may not have the Latest lane keep assist but what it does have is Looks, Lots of Space to stretch, Largest Trunk, Easy to drive. SMOOTH and Quiet with some handling chops. The Car she gets up amd moves and don’t beat you up at the pump. I love saying “Hey Google” (from my bedroom) “Start my car” or use the MYLINK App, or Key Fob Remote to start. I’ve had more compliments from all ages of people. From teens to Seniors telling me they love the Impala.
They killed this car years ago when the jacked up the price so much....its a great car but was put out of reach of them masses who used to buy them....dare I say they did it on purpose
First the Ford Taurus and now the Impala. Two of my favorite full size cars. What will I choose in the future a 4 banger turbo, no thanks. Just give me a NA V6. Love full size cars, makes the ride so nice and the V6 purrs like a kitten when cruising. I guess there is always the Charger. Toyota Avalon is V6, but the styling does not do it for me.
You have the exact same thinking that I do!! My dad owned a 97 Caddy STS with the Northstar (shockingly he said it was super reliable car) when I was a kid, and that's how I fell in love with full-size sedans. My grandpa drove a '10 Taurus and I always loved the comfy cabin and driving as well. I drive a 2014 Impala LT in this same Red with 84k kilometers on it and it is the BEST car I've EVER driven thus far in my lifetime.. I feel like you'd have to spend lots of money to get a comparable ride quality.
I agree wholeheartedly with your thinking. Who wants a little 4 cylinder turbo when they could have the raw yet efficient power of an na V6? I still drive a 2011 Dodge Avenger 3.6L everyday and it has treated me very well, even with 186,000 miles on it now. I am considering buying one of these gorgeous 2020 Impalas to replace it soon. First I had my eye on Chargers, but so much reading and real world experience shows the way most Chargers are driven by their owners and it just turns me off to think of buying one that has been beat on daily. Maybe I'm wrong... 🤷
@@danb2 they actually fixed most of the bugs and then jacked the prices up. Ppl aren't paying 35,000 when they can get one 3 years older for half that.
Our local dealer still has like 20 of these sitting on their lot, and they aren’t selling. I’ve always wondering why the have sent them off to auction considering they’ve been on the lot for almost 2 years. We had one of these as a rental when they were first introduced and it wasn’t a bad car I really enjoyed it. These are all over rental lots, and will continue to be driven around for years, because they aren’t bad cars. I still wouldn’t buy one though, I’m not a huge fan of the rear end.
Back in the "90's (I think) we had a Chevy Illumina for a company car. That thing had only a 3.2 multi port V-6 that made about 130hp and that thing flew. I've been wanting to get a Camaro. However, I live in the Northeast and resent the fact that they only come with summer tires in the SS model. I'll be dammed if I'll go and buy another set of tires for $1,000 after just paying $42,000 or more for a car.
2019 1LS 2.5 driver here with 23k miles and I love it. Such a comfortable and chill vehicle. 2.5 is def a little weak but still peppy. I will keep it for good until GM decides to resurrect the nameplate again.
All automakers are stopping production on everything except trucks and SUVs. It's a bad move because yes trucks & SUVs are the rage now, but what is gonna happen when its over?? Think guys and gals think.
Chevy should've taken retro design from 1970 and did the whole line in 2020 as a 50 year 1970 tribute along with big power options.... but Chevy has sort of lost it's soul......
No. The streets are already too full of retro-kitch Boomermobiles. Just think.. the Fox Body Mustang, the 3rd and 4th Gen F bodies, and the FWD Charger from the 80s are the only affordable domestic sports/pony cars/muscle cars to not have 1960s/1970s styling.
I own this car and it is a great sedan! That said, SUV's are popular because of seat height, you do not have to bend over to latch in the child seat and put the child in it. That is pretty much it.
Vanda Tobin because The Honda Accord, Honda Civic, Toyota Camry, Nissan Altima & Maxima, and Mazda 6 are on a whole different level than GM and Ford. 😂
Wow, that’s crazy Honda and Toyota does give you more for your money...Impala is becoming obsolete...it hasn’t made a huge impact as far as the intent of this car... than heard it was having transmission issues and more problems of longevity
I have one and it's a 2014 still runs good it's sad they stopping it and to add the new caddy ct6 with the v8 is great looking with all wheel drive why don't make the impala similar for the last year smh r.i.p impala u will be missed ☹
Bet they are going to revive the impala name for a large unibody suv that'll sit under the Tahoe much like the Cadillac XT6 sits under the Escalade short wheelbase
Bring back the rear wheel drive platform, (incline awd if necessary). Make the car as special and as important as the late 60’s and mid 90’s. Then watch true fans and new customers alike, come for the car they have been waiting for.
I have a 2015 model and i love it. It makes me sad to see them discontinue it. There are a few things i would change about it though. The transmission is a bit dated and an AWD option would be nice. It has lots of power but with only FWD you have to be careful off the line. What i would really like to see the most though is for them to revive the Impala as a sports sedan. They could put it on the Camaro's Alpha platform and offer all the same engine/transmission options. So a base 4 cylinder all the way up to a V8. The reason sedans are dying off is because they have become boring. People look at sedans and crossovers and since both of them are boring they just go with the one that is more practical. So the solution is to make sedans more interesting. You can do that through styling and performance. So if you offer the Impala with a V8 then lots of people will buy the base car with the hopes of looking like they own a V8 car. Just like they do with the Camaro/Mustang/Challenger.
It's a shame these aren't selling and they may be discontinuing it, but at least they have enough respect for the Impala to discontinue it and not make an SUV and call it an Impala.
Why does impala not have sunroof or they should come in all models at the price all models are pricey anyway they need a big sunroof going front to back
Car in the pic is a g35 coupe but yes ive done some work to mine ive had it yrs now so along with regular stuff like head gaskets and water pump ive got new springs and cams with a tune and a few other goodies
Have a 2016 Malibu and love it. While the Impala isn't what it used to be, there's not much out there for "full size" sedans anymore. Still feel the Impala truly died with when they ceased production with the 96, but these aren't too bad. I wonder if at some point GM will regret this decision.
To be honest your videos are always getting so much better with a lot of detail and the layout of each part you cover. I really wish someone could just let you take one of these cars to a race track to get the 0-60 and 60-0 along with their lap times.
Wait did he call this big version of a camry a "BEAST"? As a proud owner of the a real beast 96 impala im disappointed in chevy they basically cut the nuts off this proud car
Siiiiiiiiiggggghhhhhh..... If I was in charge of Chevy for a little while, there would be a LOT of smiling fools (like ME!!!) out there! The fuel-economy types.....I'll buy them a 1-way ticket to Northern Italy...... ;-) On our beloved Impalas you would see: * The LT4 from Camaro-land, * REAR drive!!!!!!!!! * 20" Rims to fill in the wheelwells better, * Slightly bigger rubber in back, * Slightly more lift in the rear, * The electronic/magnetic shocks as an option, * Exhaust-doors, * Mild Recaro-like seats (optional??), * Beefy Leather-wrapped T-handle (!!!!) shift handle, * Reworked Steering-wheel (possibly flat-bottomed?) * Cushier Leather door uppers, with a stylin' "SS" embroidery, * Actual FOG-LIGHTS on lower Grill!!!! * Possible subtle ground-effects pkg., * Rear Spoiler...a little more prominent, * Black or Chrome wheels, * Blacked-out model badging with red edging, & blackout window-trim. THIS would be an ideal " IMPALA-SS" for THIS Guy!
Gold Pony, The 2020 Impala is nice but to keep it real with you the steering wheel I have to give it a zonk because I feel the GM could of made a better steering wheel design for the Impala also the back passenger area is another zonk GM could put at least two USB. I don't understand as to why GM had stopped putting the original Impala emblem flags and I keep hearing rumors that this year is suppose to be the last year for Impala's why would GM would want to do that Impala has been around for about six decades actually since 1958 but other than that Thank You for posting Gold Pony and take care.
Dumb move GM..stop making an American Icon that's comfortable and roomy and keep making the smaller Malibu. If you're 6'2" like me you have to scrunch yourself up to get into smaller cars like the Malibu.
Yo I love Impalas, I have two. 2010 LTZ that I use for my work car and a 2015 2LT, that I use as my family car. They're both the same color as the one in the video and my 2LT is very similar to the one in the video, as well. I'm not sure when, but I'm going to trade in my 2015 for a 2019 or 2020 for a premier because I want the moon roof and the running lights.

Dae Dae I know it sounds weird but the impala used to be a badass V8 rwd car and I think if they brought that back and changed the design a little it could be something great. But they won’t because Chevy can’t get their heads outta their asses lately.
@@nobodysomeone4098 the design is nice now. Put the V8 back in and show off the dual exhaust instead of hiding it and it can go head to head with the charger.
@@nobodysomeone4098 laughs in 2014 chevy ss
They should change the drivetrain and have a RWD and AWD V8 version of it. It would sell
I rented an Impala recently and was surprised how well it drove-very smooth, powerful, and quiet. The drivetrain and chassis are fantastic and clearly tons of engineering went into them. The body is uninspiring but not offensive. My only major complaint were the overly contoured/lumpy seats which were some of the most uncomfortable I’ve ever sat in, and would prevent me from ever owning one. Torturous seats aside, disappointed to see it go.
Seats are fine. Try adjusting them? 😅
Really good car! GM is short sighted per usual! Making stupid decisions under Mary Barra imo
Really, the more things change at GM, the more they stay the same.
Manufacturers are getting rid of V6 cars, Impala owners were 75% of V6, so they had to cancel it. Avalon was the last on the chopping block and now Camry won't get V6 anymore. Mary Barra doesn't head up Toyota. Camaro the end of 2023 model, since 4 Cycl was a tiny fraction too. Chrysler is ending the Challenger and Charger after 2024. Mary doesn't run Chrysler either.
Absolutely LOVE my 2015 LTZ!!! It's that same Burgundy, & has the all Black interior with Leather. Also has the optional (for LTZ's & Premier's only) 20" RQ9 wheels.
Only option I don't have is the "Radar-Cruise". Again.....I LOVE this car!!! 46,000mi as of 3-10-20. It ONLY sees Top-Tier/NO Ethanol/Premium. Seafoam once a month too!!!!
thanx for info..l own a 2015 impala..v6..50,000 mi...just got back to oregon from ariz.. car ran spectacular..was passing alotta cars and motorhomes on way...50 to 90 mph in less time than eye blinking...and smooth..just looking to upgrade one baddass car to a newer one!!
Final year huh?? I always wanted an impala I guess I’ll be copping me one of these pretty soon then.
These prices are stupid ridiculous!! The type of person that would like to purchase this vehicle only makes $ 30,000 to $40,000 a year the price is absolutely nuts!! Just two years ago the Impala started out at $ 25, 500? A $12,000 jump in price in two years? These people are insane!!
Don’t get rid of Impala’s I have one right now and it’s a great car
a American icon dies rest in PEACE Impala
I just had one as a rental...I liked the styling inside and out...plenty of room...the ride was quiet and smooth, ample power. Didn’t like the visibility from the very small side-view mirrors and tiny rear window....though the rear camera takes care of backing up....didn’t like the transmission...was not smooth at low speeds...felt occasional shifting clunks at lower speeds. The fit and finish inside and out was quite impressive. Overall 7/10 car. I would expect you can get huge discounts on this car....since it’s not an SUV.
I love my 15 Impala just hope it stays running good for me.
Same here, I'm up too 82k miles on mine. Still running strong but I have looked at used and saw some 2014/15 close to 200k miles on them, one even had 220k and selling for $6k.
@@dirkdiggler2695 wpw that's cheap. When summer comes I'll probably drive my 2wd truck and let the Impala sit. This is honestly the first car I'd buy again. Maybe a white or silver LTZ on 20s if I could find one low miles.
Same here. I’m up to 94K on mines and it’s still running great.
@@jeremiahcharles5526 I'm sure I'll be over 100k by the end of Summer.
Just had a new windshield put in and new tint again. Video will be out later this morning!
Fade To Black LLC I’d love to see the video. Let me know when it’s uploaded and I’ll take a look at it
Nice seeing you review an American Car. Love watching your vid's..................
Thank you for the great video and a very great car sorry to see it go I'll try to hold on to my 18 as long as possible
I'm going to keep my 15 as long as I can with hopes no major repair is needed.
I'm gonna keep my 19, as long as possible too.
Nice review! You mentioned visibility is good out the back. So many other reviews say it's bad rear visibility. I'm hoping to find a good deal.
Haha Nissan Maxima visability is bad, Camaro, 370z, etc. This one is just fine! 😁
@@goldpony thank you!
Big mistake by GM to discontinue this car. I'd buy it. Rented one and it was one of the nicest cars I've ever driven. Have to spend over $50k to find something that rides this nice.
Not a mistake. It wasn't worthy to continue buying them.
@@moeanthony9308 Catch a clue, America is SUV crazy and V6 sedans are almost extinct, the Camry is hanging on (Avalon just got the ax).
@@patcurrie9888 Man I forgot about that.. 2yrs ago.. Alot changed since then.
@@patcurrie9888 - Because "Americans" are FAT, LAZY AND OLD for the most part. They HAVE to feed their egos with big trucks and SUVs. Most - not all, but most.
I applaud you GOLD PONY for Reviewing the Last interation of this GEN Impala. Such a Shame we’re losing this car. I would of loved to seen the new version that was slated to take it’s place. I own this same exact model you’re driving same color and wheel with Pano Roof. Quiet, Smooth, I get 23MPG and no highway driving. Many traffic lights daily 10 I go through. And she handles. So much room everywhere. They did this one right. People can save $10K off sticker like I did back in July 2017 when I bought mine. If they say no, walk out go somewhere else or better yet do it over the web internet sales. Again, Thank you for making this video.
I love my Red Impala with the Pano Sunroof. in 2017 I saved alomst $10K off sticker on a brand new model. After Testing 5 other sedans when I went to test drive the Impala in Drive I knew with in 2 feet of driving I was driving it home. This car may not have the Latest lane keep assist but what it does have is Looks, Lots of Space to stretch, Largest Trunk, Easy to drive. SMOOTH and Quiet with some handling chops. The Car she gets up amd moves and don’t beat you up at the pump. I love saying “Hey Google” (from my bedroom) “Start my car” or use the MYLINK App, or Key Fob Remote to start. I’ve had more compliments from all ages of people. From teens to Seniors telling me they love the Impala.
No mention of an auto start/stop or a button to deactivate. Does the 2020 Impala have that?
Yes
They killed this car years ago when the jacked up the price so much....its a great car but was put out of reach of them masses who used to buy them....dare I say they did it on purpose
YOU FORGOT THE BEST PART! HIDDEN CUBBY BEHIND THE SCREEN. LIFTS UP NIIICE
Keep the Impala.
I own a 2013 impala LT, and it doesn't have the impala emblem and I have no idea why!?
Bennie Mangle Jr. They took off with your shit lmao 😭
the 2006-2013 model after 2010 it got removed, as well as other changes.
It still looks good
Had this as a rental and loved it
If they wanna do something special for the last year, imagine a 5.3L option for a final sendoff. I’d buy that 😂
If they don't sell and are discontinued one would ask why does honda Toyota kia Nissan still not having any trouble selling cars
First the Ford Taurus and now the Impala. Two of my favorite full size cars. What will I choose in the future a 4 banger turbo, no thanks. Just give me a NA V6. Love full size cars, makes the ride so nice and the V6 purrs like a kitten when cruising. I guess there is always the Charger. Toyota Avalon is V6, but the styling does not do it for me.
Chieftain Theres also the Chrysler 300 and Kia Cadenza
You have the exact same thinking that I do!! My dad owned a 97 Caddy STS with the Northstar (shockingly he said it was super reliable car) when I was a kid, and that's how I fell in love with full-size sedans. My grandpa drove a '10 Taurus and I always loved the comfy cabin and driving as well.
I drive a 2014 Impala LT in this same Red with 84k kilometers on it and it is the BEST car I've EVER driven thus far in my lifetime.. I feel like you'd have to spend lots of money to get a comparable ride quality.
I agree wholeheartedly with your thinking. Who wants a little 4 cylinder turbo when they could have the raw yet efficient power of an na V6? I still drive a 2011 Dodge Avenger 3.6L everyday and it has treated me very well, even with 186,000 miles on it now. I am considering buying one of these gorgeous 2020 Impalas to replace it soon. First I had my eye on Chargers, but so much reading and real world experience shows the way most Chargers are driven by their owners and it just turns me off to think of buying one that has been beat on daily. Maybe I'm wrong... 🤷
They finally get a car as good or better then the Asian cars and they end production, kinda stupid
I agree!
Anubis Smite their sales after around 2013 was deceasing a lot. Pre much everyone is buying suvs and trucks
The decision to minimize fleet sales and not make a police package to focus on private sales was a bad decision.
Kevin Karcher exactly gm was a great brand just years ago and some decisions and designs lately, it’s just out of it, they need to fire someone.
@@danb2 they actually fixed most of the bugs and then jacked the prices up. Ppl aren't paying 35,000 when they can get one 3 years older for half that.
Is that 2020 chevy Impala premier is smaller than 2015 chevy Impala LT ? Please let me know .
I have 2019 impala premier and the headlights are really weak , I don't know how to make them better
They need a V8 RWD and an AWD version of this and it would sell.
GM is too stupid to do that
Nobody bought the Chevy SS.
Front driver because of damn snow belt. Come on fellas, catch a clue.
Our local dealer still has like 20 of these sitting on their lot, and they aren’t selling. I’ve always wondering why the have sent them off to auction considering they’ve been on the lot for almost 2 years. We had one of these as a rental when they were first introduced and it wasn’t a bad car I really enjoyed it. These are all over rental lots, and will continue to be driven around for years, because they aren’t bad cars. I still wouldn’t buy one though, I’m not a huge fan of the rear end.
Great review!!
Thanks! 😁
Loving my 2019 Impala. Shame it’s getting discontinued.
Reading all these comments about why GM is discontinuing cars... and wondering what you guys are driving
They should smack that V8 in at least
Is there a reason the 2020 LT doesn't make a noise when backing up?
Back in the "90's (I think) we had a Chevy Illumina for a company car. That thing had only a 3.2 multi port V-6 that made about 130hp and that thing flew. I've been wanting to get a Camaro. However, I live in the Northeast and resent the fact that they only come with summer tires in the SS model. I'll be dammed if I'll go and buy another set of tires for $1,000 after just paying $42,000 or more for a car.
2019 1LS 2.5 driver here with 23k miles and I love it. Such a comfortable and chill vehicle. 2.5 is def a little weak but still peppy. I will keep it for good until GM decides to resurrect the nameplate again.
All automakers are stopping production on everything except trucks and SUVs. It's a bad move because yes trucks & SUVs are the rage now, but what is gonna happen when its over?? Think guys and gals think.
Chevy should've taken retro design from 1970 and did the whole line in 2020 as a 50 year 1970 tribute along with big power options.... but Chevy has sort of lost it's soul......
No. The streets are already too full of retro-kitch Boomermobiles.
Just think.. the Fox Body Mustang, the 3rd and 4th Gen F bodies, and the FWD Charger from the 80s are the only affordable domestic sports/pony cars/muscle cars to not have 1960s/1970s styling.
Why stop prudction ? I think its good car
I love your review's lol
Appreciate it!
I want this car!
You did not mention the concealed cubby hole behind the info tainment system. It is lockable and has a power jack for cell phone.
I own this car and it is a great sedan! That said, SUV's are popular because of seat height, you do not have to bend over to latch in the child seat and put the child in it. That is pretty much it.
I Love You Impala
Why are they getting rid of the Impala line, those are my favorite cars
Vanda Tobin because The Honda Accord, Honda Civic, Toyota Camry, Nissan Altima & Maxima, and Mazda 6 are on a whole different level than GM and Ford. 😂
Because GM wants to capitalize on the SUV market
Wow, that’s crazy Honda and Toyota does give you more for your money...Impala is becoming obsolete...it hasn’t made a huge impact as far as the intent of this car... than heard it was having transmission issues and more problems of longevity
@@AmthatEmpress11 toyotas and hondas these days let you feel every bump in the road, those of us with ailing joints need softer-riding american iron.
I can understand that, it’s more of a SUV era now days
Nawww 1996 ss was last year for real impala.
Come on now PREACH BROTHA
Still have my 07 impala ss though so im happy
I have one and it's a 2014 still runs good it's sad they stopping it and to add the new caddy ct6 with the v8 is great looking with all wheel drive why don't make the impala similar for the last year smh r.i.p impala u will be missed ☹
Going to miss this car... always wanted one...
Such a nice car shame that the average consumer wants a crossover. Im considering trading in my hatchback on an Impala
If this is truly the last generation mine will be kept never selling it
Bet they are going to revive the impala name for a large unibody suv that'll sit under the Tahoe much like the Cadillac XT6 sits under the Escalade short wheelbase
Bring back the rear wheel drive platform, (incline awd if necessary). Make the car as special and as important as the late 60’s and mid 90’s. Then watch true fans and new customers alike, come for the car they have been waiting for.
It was called the Chevy SS.
Nobody bought it.
I have a 2015 model and i love it. It makes me sad to see them discontinue it. There are a few things i would change about it though. The transmission is a bit dated and an AWD option would be nice. It has lots of power but with only FWD you have to be careful off the line. What i would really like to see the most though is for them to revive the Impala as a sports sedan. They could put it on the Camaro's Alpha platform and offer all the same engine/transmission options. So a base 4 cylinder all the way up to a V8.
The reason sedans are dying off is because they have become boring. People look at sedans and crossovers and since both of them are boring they just go with the one that is more practical. So the solution is to make sedans more interesting. You can do that through styling and performance. So if you offer the Impala with a V8 then lots of people will buy the base car with the hopes of looking like they own a V8 car. Just like they do with the Camaro/Mustang/Challenger.
Why the headlight is so weak?
I can bearly see my front in my 2017 impala
Buy new ones. Or get yours eyes tested. 😂
It's a shame these aren't selling and they may be discontinuing it, but at least they have enough respect for the Impala to discontinue it and not make an SUV and call it an Impala.
It is a good cruiser ❤
Great review, thx!
2 things missing from this car that it desperately needs. A 7L v8, and rwd
Agreed, If they had a RWD and an AWD version of it, it would sell
@@NFSMAN50 gm hates logic🤦🏿♂️
@@blackice7408 Pretty much, won't be long until the government bails them out again because of GM's dumb mistakes
@@NFSMAN50 seeing how big they were in the 50s to 80s and now theyre crap.
How do you pop the trunk without using the keys?Great video by the way
There is a button left of the steering wheel to pop it, but they never made a button at the back - maybe for security reasons.
Why does impala not have sunroof or they should come in all models at the price all models are pricey anyway they need a big sunroof going front to back
I love my impala
Looks like you did some stuff to yours?
Car in the pic is a g35 coupe but yes ive done some work to mine ive had it yrs now so along with regular stuff like head gaskets and water pump ive got new springs and cams with a tune and a few other goodies
Same inside as 2018 one i saw i might just get that
Have a 2016 Malibu and love it. While the Impala isn't what it used to be, there's not much out there for "full size" sedans anymore. Still feel the Impala truly died with when they ceased production with the 96, but these aren't too bad. I wonder if at some point GM will regret this decision.
GM YOU SHOULD HAVE PUT THE 5.7 or the VT motor in this beautiful car. GIVE THE PEOPLE WANT THEY WANT, ASK AROUND.
So GM is killing off another legend. WTH! They're letting the crossover craze take over too much.
Do a head to head comparison 69 Impala 2020 Impala. In 50 years.
I thought they stopped making these?
To be honest your videos are always getting so much better with a lot of detail and the layout of each part you cover. I really wish someone could just let you take one of these cars to a race track to get the 0-60 and 60-0 along with their lap times.
He is definetly a great car reviewer. But why he only have 75k subcriber?
Haha I wish that too Tino! 😁
Wait did he call this big version of a camry a "BEAST"? As a proud owner of the a real beast 96 impala im disappointed in chevy they basically cut the nuts off this proud car
Siiiiiiiiiggggghhhhhh.....
If I was in charge of Chevy for a little while, there would be a LOT of smiling fools (like ME!!!) out there!
The fuel-economy types.....I'll buy them a 1-way ticket to Northern Italy...... ;-)
On our beloved Impalas you would see:
* The LT4 from Camaro-land,
* REAR drive!!!!!!!!!
* 20" Rims to fill in the wheelwells better,
* Slightly bigger rubber in back,
* Slightly more lift in the rear,
* The electronic/magnetic shocks as an option,
* Exhaust-doors,
* Mild Recaro-like seats (optional??),
* Beefy Leather-wrapped T-handle (!!!!) shift handle,
* Reworked Steering-wheel (possibly flat-bottomed?)
* Cushier Leather door uppers, with a stylin' "SS" embroidery,
* Actual FOG-LIGHTS on lower Grill!!!!
* Possible subtle ground-effects pkg.,
* Rear Spoiler...a little more prominent,
* Black or Chrome wheels,
* Blacked-out model badging with red edging, & blackout window-trim.
THIS would be an ideal " IMPALA-SS" for THIS Guy!
Gold Pony, The 2020 Impala is nice but to keep it real with you the steering wheel I have to give it a zonk because I feel the GM could of made a better steering wheel design for the Impala also the back passenger area is another zonk GM could put at least two USB. I don't understand as to why GM had stopped putting the original Impala emblem flags and I keep hearing rumors that this year is suppose to be the last year for Impala's why would GM would want to do that Impala has been around for about six decades actually since 1958 but other than that Thank You for posting Gold Pony and take care.
Dumb move GM..stop making an American Icon that's comfortable and roomy and keep making the smaller Malibu. If you're 6'2" like me you have to scrunch yourself up to get into smaller cars like the Malibu.
Yo I love Impalas, I have two. 2010 LTZ that I use for my work car and a 2015 2LT, that I use as my family car. They're both the same color as the one in the video and my 2LT is very similar to the one in the video, as well.
I'm not sure when, but I'm going to trade in my 2015 for a 2019 or 2020 for a premier because I want the moon roof and the running lights.
I have a Nissan 2012 to trade for a car excellent shape silver I want silver color what do you have for a trade
