2000 Chevrolet Impala Overview

Introduction

The 1960's Impala was the closest Detroit ever came to a car that was everything to everybody, selling more than a million copies in 1965.That's an impossible task for a four-wheeled machine to accomplish today.

But the dream name survives on what is now a super-refined Lumina, built on a much-modified Pontiac Grand Prix platform.Viewed from the outside, the 2000 Impala is not the biggest passenger car Chevy sells.But it's big inside.

Equipped with its powerful 3.8-liter V6, the new Impala is a quick car, more spunky than the six-seat models from Toyota, Dodge, Ford and Buick.And with unique suspension tuning, this new Chevy Impala is not the wallowing boat of the '60s Impalas.
