2014 Impala

[Hank70SS]

Anyone seen one yet? We went with our son to look at new vehicles 2 weeks ago. He looked at different cars and ended up buying a 2013 Z71 pickup lots of rebates. Since he put's on about 100 miles a day to and from work we didn't think it was the best idea. He's paying for the truck and gas so what can we say.

Anyway, they had a few 2014 Impalas on the lot. I do have to give Ford kudos for the new Taurus. Never liked the look of the old ones but when they brought it back they did a nice job on the styling. I guess Chevy woke up and did a really nice job on the new Impala. The rear end could be a little better but overall a really sharp looking car.

We went back last week to do some looking. They had the Impala, a lot of 2013 Equinox's and dozens of 2013 Malibu's. We ended up with a Malibu, Lynda didn't like driving the Equinox. We had looked at Impalas in the past but it would be a tight fit in the garage. An extra fridge, deep freeze, 2 tool carts, misc. stuff and of course the Chevelle.

I wasn't really in the market for a new car. Too me, maybe I'm getting old, but it's just transportation and I have the Chevelle. Well Lynda liked the Malibu, don't remember what they call the color but it's close to a metallic candy apple red. I'm impressed, sharp looking car. We have an 07 Malibu, we still have it because it can be flat towed behind the motorhome. I like it, handles well and great performance with the V6. Our son had an 09 Malibu, it road better and was quieter than the 07. Well the 13 beats both of them by a long shot.

Quiet, smooth ride, all the bells and whistles. It's just a Malibu but Chevy did a nice job. I think they got their act together. So check out the new Impala, I can't believe how much better it looks than the old body style.
