A friend of a co-worker just bought a new Impala and I got the chance to check it out few days ago.  The trunk opening is tiny.  You can barely post a letter through the opening.  That's pretty fucked-up for such a huge car!  What the hell were they thinking?

This car looks constipated.

The rear is a bit long for the design, but it's not bad.

This looks way better to me.



I think that is one of the most hideous front ends on the road. The rest is just Altima/Accord/ etc clone-ish.

I think it looks one, as do the people to whom the car is actually marketed.

That's a great local brewery that we have. Do I drink their beer? No.

It really does look good. Nice lines, good design, slightly retro on the front end shape. Tasteful car. I'd have a Passat TDI over it every day if the week for fuel economy's sake, but I digress.

I like the front end but by the time I get to the rear I lose interest.

I saw one this morning when I was making my habitual stop at a certain well-known purveyor of caffeinated beverages. It's a good-looking car.
