Sure it's not a 2012? Check the owner's manual.

IIRC, a car isn't supposed to have a model year that's over a calendar year away. So a 2013 isn't supposed to be on sale until January 2012. For competitive reasons.

i guess it could be, i certainly don't know my impalas. it does have only 470 or so miles on it. just looked, and the key chain actually says cimp12 on model year so mayhaps you are right, and it's just a new impala that someone fat fingered at some point in the system. i think another guy is driving today but i'll poke around the car when i am by it next.

Either way, it should have the new 3.6-liter DOHC engine with 28X horsepower and six-speed automatic transmission. It's a solid powertrain in other applications.

I was hoping to get one for my trip this weekend in Charlotte but settled on a cruze instead. Still excited tho cause I like them too

 

[Primalzer]

How'd you like the Cruze? I'm still considering one if they gave me enough for my current car.

I drove a Cruze around for a weekend. It was the Eco model with the 1.4T and 6 speed manual. Not a bad car to drive (I actually enjoyed it quite a bit!), but the seats were pretty horrible. If one thing were to keep me from buying one, it would be the seats! Drive one around a while and see what you think... maybe you can get a model with seats that don't suck?

The 3.6 in the '12 impala feels very strong! Dare I say, as strong as the LS4?

the six speed trans really helps! they've got a stout driveline, now fix the damn interior!

 

[99PONTIACGP]

What's wrong with the interior?

 

[bikrboy128]

its cheap looking and feeling. it needs the interior from a new lacrosse.

 

[Yaj Yak]

i like the nicer ones interiors.

asks the impala owner....

 

[willizm]

I'm pretty impressed with my charger rental car. It's got the v6 and is slow, but damn it looks good driving at night with the lights hitting it.

 

[Yaj Yak]

2012 or 2011?

 

[willizm]

Whichever the newest body style one is.

 

[Yaj Yak]

2012. sweet!

 

[willizm]

The car looks way better in person than I'd give credit in pictures. Plus it'd that burnt orange just looks good on it. Just needs a srt8 hemi and id be a happy camper.

That would've been the exact car that I would like to get. Yeah I'll have to have to take a ride in one of them for longer than a test drive. The one thing I do like about my fusion is the seats are nice and supportive and comfy.

I don't mind the impala interior.
