Along with its two-door counterpart, the Monte Carlo , the front-drive full-size Impala sedan was redesigned for 2006. Changes for 2007 include an updated version of the optional 3.9-liter V-6, which now offers 233 horsepower, down slightly from the previous year’s 242 horsepower rating. The standard 3.5-liter V-6 in base models is rated at the same 211 horsepower for 2007 but now offers E85/flex-fuel capability. The 5.3-liter V-8 in SS models continues with 303 horsepower. All engines are mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. XM Satellite radio is standard on the SS, and available on the LS, LT, and LTZ. A tire pressure monitor is standard on all models. Those equipped with OnStar get turn-by-turn navigation. There are five new colors for 2007 — Precision Red, Imperial Blue Metallic, Bordeaux Red, and Red Jewel Tintcoat. Anti-lock brakes with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution are standard on all versions but the base model, and traction control is also available. The Impala offers 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.
