Link to Edmunds site about the new 2006 Impala.
Looks quite nice! The first thing that comes to mind is that it's a Holden/GTO copy, but that can't be true as it's a FWD 5.3L V8.
Therein lies the biggest issue, why doesn't GM stop using this engine for these applications and just keeping using the 3.5L 24V V-6 that was in the upper level Olds models? Maybe even a supercharged/turbocharged version. Why even release another V-8 car with gas prices the way they are?? Just doesn't make sense to me.
Otherwise it looks very nice.
