It was at the Broward County Convention Center in Florida. They usually rope off cars that are expensive or haven't made it to showrooms yet. In this case it would be the latter.

Sure it's FWD, sure it's a V6, but the 94-96 SS should have never worn that nameplate either. An Impala SS is a 2 door, V8, bucket seats, floor mounted shifter. And that died in the late 60's.

20 years ago no one would have built an SS ANYTHING with 4 doors,let alone FWD!

FWD makes a nice winter car to get through the snow.

4 door cars are family/granny cars.

Imagine for a moment.........a 1966 Impala 4 door with SS equipment ,pretty gross huh?

Bring back a real 2 door RWD Impala on a full frame and then I might get excited.

tell you what my take is on 2 doors...

2 door cars with front and back seats = redundant

2 door cars with front seats only = makes sense!

i hate crawling into the back of a 2 door car because its a sorry atempt at being sporty. one more thing, go look at the weight diference between the new monte carlos and impalas, its more or less naught.

I think it should be a V8 again, or at least be RWD.
