Full Ride

Let’s face it: The last few generations of Chevrolet Impalas have been better known for lining rental car parking lots than impressing car buyers. All that might change in 2014 with GM’s release of a head-turning update on the big sedan theme. Buyers will have a choice of 3 powertrains, making it easy to pick one that best matches their needs for speed and efficiency. But it’s really the car’s new look that’s raising industry eyebrows. It’s sleek and sculpted into some daring curves with low-profile projector beam headlamps and a wide grille. Drivers will love the updates to the interior as well, from the wraparound instrument panel to high-tech touches like Chevy’s MyLink system; Starting at $27,535, Chevrolet.com.
