The Impala is often said to have laid the foundation of the muscle car era. Originally born to be a perfect option for those who like big cars of high performance it introduced the “SS” brand. Despite of being eventually replaced with lighter and more compact vehicles, Impala remained one of the Chevrolet top of the line models through years and even decades.

Lately, though, it was considered to be certain kind of a mediocre car, obtaining the not-that-high rates at Consumer Reports. Surprisingly, this year the situation has changed drastically with Chevy Impala 2014 being rated as a top-sedan and terminating the sad period of nearly two decades when domestic cars weren’t able to grab automobilists’ acknowledgment. So, if you’re fond of hunting for used cars in US, we highly recommend you to pass on this article for we’re going to discuss a brand-new Impala here, or stay with us and get the latest information on Chevrolet’s achievements.

As stated earlier, Impala has wedged into the “excellent” category according to this year’s Consumer Reports, making quite a turn around and getting 95 points as opposed to previous 63. It’s worth mentioning that Impala has not only outplayed European and Japanese cars which used to dominate the large sedan category for a last couple of years, but has also beaten out almost every car examined this time. The BMW 135i and Tesla Model S were the only ones to overcome the high standard set by Chevrolet.

The main feature to obtain high scores was car’s handling, widely acclaimed as “agile” with its praiseworthy breaking and bearable acceleration. Some have even defined this sedan as a luxury-car thanks to the impression of a high-performance utility it conveys. Perfectly bolstered leather seats, six-speed automatic shuffles, high-quality surround sound and a contemporary touchscreen make it a recommendable family-car.

According to the words of Jake Fisher, the Consumer Reports’ Director of Automotive Testing, the Impala’s second advent has carried on the revival of domestic car production, along with Ford Fusion, Grand Cherokee and Chrysler 300.
