It's not going to be the standard engine, no.

What extinct or endangered body style do you want to see come back? February 13th, 2011 Drew Dowdell - CheersandGears.com Over the years body styles have come and gone. Oh sure, the basic trio of sedan, coupe, wagon are still around, but even those three had subtypes. The example shown above is from my personal favorite body style. The Cadillac Eldorado was a coupe, yes, but it was of a subtype called a Personal Luxury Coupe. This sub-type of coupe was marketed as it's own category in years past. Indeed in 1980, there were no less than 14 Personal Luxury Coupe models offered by just the Detroit three. By 1990, that number was down to about 8 and by 2000 only the Cadillac Eldorado and Chevrolet Monte Carlo had survived. Today, none are available. The Japanese have thrown their hat into this ring a few times with cars like the Toyota Solara and Acura CL, but those too have since passed on. So the question to the community is this? What extinct or endangered body style would you like to see brought back? Are you Krazy for Kammbacks? Phizzy for Pheatons? Or like me do you need a little personal luxury in your coupe? You can be as specific or as general as you like, any year goes. We're not going to do any voting on this. Just make sure to upload a picture example and an explanation of your choice.

The Fusion Hybrid isn't where the Regal is with the interior and no where near the same as the Regal in terms of handling and ride.

That's not the sentiment that Welburn expressed to me. He said that in the time up till the BK, they had LOTS of ideas but no money to do it.... so even if design and engineering knew what they wanted to do, they couldn't get the investment needed to make those changes. He said that post BK, there has been a complete swing in attitude in that regard.

I dunno, GM has done some pretty fast model turn arounds lately. What this says to me is that there was a major direction change in the new Impala's mission and architecture.

The Malibu was 1. more important and 2. just release and then 12 months later BK hit.

I am disappoint in this thread.

This train stops at Paris, Lausanne, Milan, Venice, Belgrade, Sofia, and Istanbul. This train does NOT stop at Constantinople.

Well hello! Always welcome back...... but could you downsize your sig a bit?

It was... it was called Malibu.

I like how people think that GM can just download a new Impala like it's an app for their phone. GM has a lot going on right now and a few tricks up their sleeve that people aren't seeing yet.

That's what the actual recall was about..... there wasn't a recall regarding any electronic issue.

If you're just web surfing and playing iTunes, any processor fast enough to handle Windows 7 is enough to do that.
