Then there's no issue.

Impala, no matter how maligned it is today, sells decently.

But yes... a nice RWD car would be perfect; however, it would be too close to G8.
GM already ruled out a zeta Impala because of the potential CAFE impact. Making the heavy Zeta's fuel efficient would cost a lot of money.

Better to leave it as a niche vehicle with Pontiac for now.
