@Rick What’s with the Impala and SS debuting next year? Oh I don’t know, maybe the fact that the 9th gen Impala is the best-selling full-sized sedan in the industry… or that it’s a major cash cow (given that the tooling and whatever design, development, or engineering investment in the car has long paid off). Let’s remember — GM is a business.
In regards to styling of either vehicle (which we don’t really know much about the SS right now, as it is) — I think you’re way out there on that one. The new Impala is one of the best-looking vehicles, period. Sure, it’s similar to other cars in that it has four wheels, a hood, roof, and trunk… also, a steering wheel. But to call it “bland”… is more than a stretch. Or are you referring to the Caprice?
