Feels like a mashup of styling cues. Front end bears a bold resemblance not unlike Taurus but also reminiscent of new Camry. Glasshouse reminds me lof MA-MC Mondeo and the Fudeo. Side profile looks Camry up front but Sonata or some other overstyle Hyundai towards the back with the over pronounced rear guards.

Looks like a calamity and nothing more. Burn it! Burn it with fire!
But we've known that cars just ain't cars anymore... the future of the automotive industry is a dismal one with disfigured blobs like this in the works... FPV GTHO pretty much stated my thoughts on where they drew inspiration (for lack of a better word) from. |

Looks good, pretty stylish effort considering what Impalas of late had been.

That's all Aurion/Camry V6 at the front and not too far off it at the back either. I don't mind the styling but it's by no means original!

Typical meaty in your face American styling. Has the current Chevy "face".
I dont mind it apart from the roofline from the B to C pillars and the odd shaped windows.

They've lost the plot with that car. That front end is hideous.

I kinda like it. For some reason the front reminds me of the Camaro (somehow!)
We'll get to see the update in the metal in 2016.......with Holden badges..... Quote:

If the head reporters on GM Inside news are to be believed, this is the Commodore's replacement after 2016
I can't wait for the spin to start, AWD is the new RWD? The job of convincing Falcon buyers that a new car is necessary may become a moot point once Impaladore is revealed... |

Looks good. More up market than the last one. Lots of mish-mash in the styling as said above.
