chevrolet and corvette

In the early 1960s, gasoline was cheap, President Kennedy was determined that a man on the moon, and the youth generation of the demand for fast cars and his desire for efficiency. The cars, including the Chevy Impala, Ford Mustang and Plymouth Barracuda, all examples of technology and the economics of marketing. Of these, the Chevrolet Impala is often credited with beginning the era of the muscle car. What matters today is not how fast the Impala can range from 0 - 60, (which, incidentally, under 6 seconds for the SS trim) but how well it competes with the Buick LaCrosse, Chrysler Sebring, Toyota Camry, Nissan Altima and Honda Accord. All are in the 2007 Impala, the MSRP of $ 20,330 - $ 26,330. However, fuel efficiency of 21 mpg city, 31 mpg highway is not too Impala, 2007, the most popular highlights in this company, but its smooth, elegant lines do the ante for escape from the ordinary.

It seems the 2007 Chevrolet Impala has been reborn as a very comfortable Chevrolet. In the car with a new twin-brow instrument panel that wraps around the door trim. The LS, LT and LTZ models have wood trim with brushed silver, and the SS comes standard with metallic linings, with wood as an option. The plates are pleasing to the eye and the sense of adventure that is not in the usual Chevrolet models. The seats are comfortable and the cabin has a redesigned interior cleaned. The optional dual-zone air conditioning, the temperature in a variety of 12-degree increments. The buttons are of high quality, and expand the driver's info center. There are also many great sides and glove boxes to store cards and / or directions.

There is much to choose if the personalization of the 2007 Impala. The car is available in four TRIMs: LS, LT, LTZ and SS, the base V6 and the LT, LTZ models are pleasing to drive and have the quietest cabin. While the SS cuts a conservative but dashing figure with a firmer ride and an authoritative exhaust, it is the least fuel efficient of all models. Overall, the engines are much improved from previous generations, but with even better fuel economy. Perhaps the availability of the hybrid technology can be up to the year 2008. Currently, the base LS trim features of the 3.5-liter V6 engine with 211 horsepower, the mid-range LTZ has a 3.9-liter, 240 horsepower HEMI ® engine, and the SS, the supercharged V8 HEMI ® offering 303 hp. All three offer plenty of performance. For safety, the 2007 Impala has front / side airbags, side and curtain air standard. However, power brakes (four-wheel discs with ABS) and traction control are standard only in the LT, LTZ and SS, we recommend that you add them as options on the LS and LT models.

Named after a South African antelope, the Impala was originally a Corvette-based prototype. It was an attempt, in the middle of the'50s, and became a best-selling model, once it was started under his own name in 1960. Ed Cole, Chevrolet's chief engineer at the time, described the Impala as a "prestige car within the reach of average Americans." In essence, the Impala was on a simple formula of pairing a good looking car with an engine power, the price was appropriate for the emerging youth market. The formula works; Chevrolet sold 7.8 million cars from 1960 to 1969. Although times have changed, the 2007 Impala has agreed with them. It is now an expensive, sophisticated car more than all his predecessors. It is more than a luxury car muscle, more fuel efficient than ever before, but the availability of hybrid engine would position it better in the hearts and minds of the American people.
