Re: Meet Your 2010 Chevy Car lineup

I have Black Granite 09 Cobalts in stock.

a 3.0 sidi would be nice for Malibu.

Aqua was supposed to be available in 09 for Impala.

Nice package for Corvette. I would have rather seen that money spent elsewhere though.

Hasn't changed since July 2005 when the 06 came out. There was a metallic applique and the SS has a carbon fiber like one.

Once upon a time, that was pretty much the standard interior for non-SS models. Now that the SS is gone, I guess that's the standard interior period.

Also, I find it interesting that the exterior pic is of a police model Impala. Are these pictures representative of the fleet brochure too?

Re: Meet Your 2010 Chevy Car lineup

The Impala and Buick Lucerne are on the same platform, am I right?

They are both archaic.

No, Impala is on W-Body and Lucerne is on G-Body( same as DTS).

Re: Meet Your 2010 Chevy Car lineup

The Impala looks as bad in Chevrolet's lineup as the Lucerne looks in Buick's lineup. It and the Cobalt need to go. At least we have a replacement for the Cobalt. Who knows if or when we'll get an Impala replacement.

Re: Meet Your 2010 Chevy Car lineup

While the impala needs updating and a rebadged G8 would be tops on the list, I will say this car does drive well and I have never been dissappointed with the various ones I have been in.
