Why does the lead car in the "NASCAR DAYTONA Internal Engine Race" television commercial have "Impala SS" lettered on the front? I thought the Impala was a Sedan; not a Coupe?

The real question is: Does it matter any more?

I may be wrong, but aren't ALL of the cars based on 4 door sedans?

Hasn't been a "stock" car in Nascar for a long time.
I suppose they should change the name, but I don't think "NAAR" would catch on. LOL

Wonder why they didn't choose the Malibu?

The '08 Malibu is a lot nicer looking, in my book.
