Chevrolet is busy perfecting the heavily updated 2006 Impala. The front-wheel drive sedan will remain on the W-car platform, but will be re-engineered and undergo major cosmetic changes as well.

Codenamed GMX360, the heavily redesigned Impala will arrive for the 2006 model year, along with the SS version seen here, indicated by the dual exhaust and spoiler.

Oh man...look at the roofline and that C-pillar

BTW folks, G6 is a decent looking car in person, fairly classy........but it also has PLASTIC UNPAINTED MIRRORS.

Oh comeon..you never seen a silver roof with black everything else? Where the hell you guys been?

That car looks familiar.....is it just me or do the front wheels look bigger than the rear in the 2nd pic?

Panacea · 07-02-2004, 11:34 AM

*sigh* It's not fully painted, it's a guinee pig, for christ's sakes stop judging it before you see the finished product. Fock, if you look inside there's nothing in there but tons of gauges and wires and computers. Man, what is GM coming too

Kdawg207 · 07-02-2004, 11:35 AM

honestly though.....with all it's camo etc....it looks like an impala to me anyway

before exterior parts are painted, they're black to begin with right? at least the front and rear fascias are.

Its like this flat black to it. When I was going to get my licence plate filler the guy showed me one (another customers) and it looked like that.

Mike3800 · 07-02-2004, 11:51 AM

I don't like the paint... and the Bra is awful... it covers up the headlights... WFT is a rear Bra? Innovation is one thing but this is pretty dumb... and who would want green wheels?! Pfft....

^^^ Don't forget to mention the copyright sticker on the windshield!

And the rear bumper...

Vintalage · 07-02-2004, 01:05 PM

From those pics I can't tell crap, but it looks like it has the lines of the last gen Maxima before this one, except the front end is a little higher, which might indicate Malibu styling, but I think they're telling their people not to style it like tha Malibu because that's a bomb so far. How could they make the whole car nice but then not offer a better engine package and then make it look so butt ugly?

If that were the case it would be good if the left the camo on the car.

notice how they tried to disguise it as a 2 door.

eren00gt · 07-03-2004, 07:39 AM

Is it perhaps possible that they put the black and white square matrix on it to use as reference to take video of it then take the video and change the styling of it using a computer. Which may explain why it looks like a 2 door and the patch over the rear side triangle window next to the pillar. Maybe they are toying with a 2 door Impala or whatever car this is. It may also explain the green rims, gives tham something look for to swap on the computer.
