The new 2008 2009 Chevrolet Impala comes in two models - the
Impala base model, and the Impala LS. Both cars come with
an available Sport Appearance Package, and you can get yourself
fully independent Sport Touring suspension, as well. For more
information about all of these Impala accessories, or to read
up on some Impala performance specs, please read on.
The 2008 2009 Chevy Impala rewards your passion for driving every
time you step on the gas. The 3400 V6 engine with Sequential
Fuel Injection generates 180 horsepower at 5200 rpm and 205
pounds-per-foot of torque at 4000 rpm. It's estimated 32 miles
per gallon rating for highway driving is the best in class.
And that's just the beginning. The acclaimed 200-horsepower,
3800 V6 engine boasts a wide, flat torque curve for quick
city traffic acceleration and ample highway merging and passing
power. Other performance features we've seen highlighted in
other Impala reviews include:
- 16-inch wheels and tires
- Aluminum engine cradles
- Electronic traction control
- MagBeam Construction, which helps to reduce vibration that can occur over time.
Not every potential Impala customer is impressed by those stats; for some, Impala pictures and information about exterior and
interior features are where it's at. On the outside, some of those features include an optional rear decklid sunroof, an optional
electric sunroof, standard heated outside mirrors, and a standard rust-fighting chassis that's second to none. On the inside, the
2008 2009 Chevrolet Impala comes standard with:
- Auxiliary power outlets
- Delayed entry lighting
- Dual temperature controls
- A self-dimming rearview mirror
- Split-folding rear seat
- Tilt-wheel steering column
- Rear-seat heat ducts
With features like these, it's easy to understand why so many Impala reviews are so positive. Can you blame the reviewers?
