Impala

Redesigned for 2006 along with its two-door counterpart, the Monte Carlo, the front-drive full-size Impala sedan becomes the first Chevy four-door sedan in a decade to offer a V-8 powerplant. Standard on the base LS version is a 3.5-liter V-6 that produces 211 horsepower, while LT and LTZ trim levels get a 3.9-liter version of the same basic engine that adds a variable-length intake manifold to generate a slightly quicker 242 horses. The top Impala SS model gets the V-8, which is a 5.3-liter small-block that produces a brisk 303 horsepower; it utilizes a "displacement on demand" function that shuts down select cylinders when not needed to save fuel. All engines are mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. Revised suspension systems offer greater control and comfort than before, while the SS gets the stiffest suspension array in the line for the sportiest cornering abilities. Anti-lock brakes with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution are standard on all versions but the base model, and traction control is also available. The car continues to deliver a large and accommodating passenger cabin, this time with a flip-and-fold rear seat in which the rear seat cushions flip forward to reveal a covered storage area and can also fold flat to maximize cargo volume via a large pass-through opening to the trunk.
