    Chevrolet Traverse and Impala on their way to New York

    Drew Dowdell - March 21, 2012 - CheersandGears.com

    Chevrolet confirmed today that both the Traverse and Impala would be making their debuts in two weeks at the 2012 New York International Auto Show by releasing a couple of teaser shots.

    The Traverse's brother, the 2012 GMC Acadia and Acadia Denali tipped their hat in February at the Chicago autoshow. In the Traverse tease shot, we see a CGI rendering of the passenger side dash and door. The Traverse will be gaining an industry first center airbag to protect the driver or passenger from far side impacts.

    On the 2014 Chevrolet Impala, we only a glimpse of the C-pillar and the old familiar Impala logo.The new Impala will ride on the long wheel base version of GM's Epsilon II platform that underpins the coming 2013 Cadillac XTS. We also know that the Impala will no longer be galloping around the track at Nascar races starting in 2013, due to be replaced with a yet named model.

    Both pictures are as useful as a screen door is on a submarine!

    Though I am excited to see the new Impala when I travel to NYC in about two weeks. I'm curious as to whether or not I will like the new Traverse; I'm not a fan of the current one.

    • All valid points you make and I get it, in my regards, I can see it taking off retail from a West Coast standpoint as it hits some very important points. EV - West coast is at a tipping point for hitting more EVs than ICE currently 1:3 ratio, or 30% new autos are EV sold. AWD 434 Miles of range Space I see LOTS of Toyota AWD and older GM AWD Vans at the pass for skiing / snowboarding. One cannot ignore the space these auto's have that families love when doing sports. Being a Mercedes, this will hit the right note for the Tech Industry that wants luxury plus EV with range to spare.
    • There are still some options for car folks:   Kia compact K4 Kia mid-size K5 Toyota mid-size Camry Honda compact Civic Honda mid-size Accord Hyundai compact Elantra Hyundai midsize Sonata Nissan compact Sentra Nissan mid-size Altima Cadillac compact CT4 Cadillac mid-size CT5 Dodge mid-size Charger Dodge mid-size Challenger Mercedes compact C-Class Mercedes Mid-size E-Class Mercedes Full size S- Class BMW compact 3 series BMW Mid-size 5 Series BMW Full-size 7 series Audi Compact A4 Audi mid-size A6 Audi full size A8 Tesla Compact Model 3 Lucid Mid-size Air If your in Canada or Mexico there are more car options especially from Kia in regard to their new EVs. One could consider buying and importing it into the U.S.
    • I can admire a company just trying to make a luxurious vehicle and not worrying about the exterior shape. Yeah, vans don't look great buuuuuut, hop on in and it's a true luxury experience. I love the idea but I don't exactly think it will take off here in the US. To me, it feels like something limousine companies will buy and that's about it. Maybe because of that, if customers have great experiences in it, it will then take off in the retail side, as well.  Americans are stubborn and mostly refuse to actually get the right vehicle for their needs. Being a BEV will be a turn off for a lot and being a van will be a turn off for a lot. I don't see it doing well, but I really hope it does well.  
    • 30 years ago at the U of Michigan my PhD advisor had a dark green '93 Bonneville w/ the tan leather interior.. I don't recall the trim level or engine, but it was a nice car..rode in it a couple times to dinner/etc.  He also had a white '92-ish GMC Jimmy 4dr (the square S15-based one).   He's now the president of Carnegie Mellon U.
    • This is a new platform over the previous body, yes.  It's Aurora based and between the two, I'd go with an Aurora of this generation.
