I like it alot. I was wishing it to be a bigger car and it is. I reminds me of the Taurus which I am a fan of. I would like to see it in different better colors to get a better opinion though.

The 2014 Impala -- Yuk!

They say that this car will not be your typical rental-bound car. I say it still looks like a rental car. The pictures of the auto-show version have all the options. Leather, etc... The base and mid-level models will look like any other boring sedan you see on the lot of a rental agency.

GM has killed off any sporty, inspiring, or agressive styling. With the exception of their precious Corvette and Camaro. Everything else looks like a clone of an import. And I'm not even referring to Holden. Some of the Holden designs actually look half decent. I liked the Holden based G8. This new Impala just bores me. It sucks!

if you've noticed. Thats the trend these days, bland and boring. Notice most of the cars you see have a neutral color, some form of gray/black/silver. Nothing thats really bright and obnoxious anymore like alot of our montes.

I agree with you 100%. It's a sad commentary of GM's line up. But the Corvette and Camaro are the most agressive/sporty looking cars in their line up.

Yeah they are there most agressive cars but even there style is kinda blahh looking for what they are, i just think everyone has lost touch with making exciting cars, Chryslers SRT group seems to be the only ones making exciting cars in a normal price range

The only problem I have with grey/silver cars is that there's too many of them. Around here, most of the vehicles on the road are grey/silver.

Not trying to sound insulting to the silver Monte owners. They look great on their own. But when driving down the street, it seems like I'm stuck in a sea of silver/grey cars.
