The Chevrolet Impala is a full size, five-passenger sedan powered by its front wheels and last updated in 2006. The platform underpinning the sedan dates back to the late 1980s, meaning that this car is ancient by today's standards. Competing models include the Hyundai Azera, Ford Taurus and Toyota Avalon, sedans that are modern, efficient and stylish. The Impala has none of these attributes and won't enjoy an extensive update before 2014.
The delay for the Chevy Impala can be attributed to GM working on a new, full size car platform for Cadillac, a variation of the same that will underpin the next generation Chevrolet Impala. Dubbed the Cadillac XTS, that new model will replace both the STS and DTS, two of Cadillac's older models. Once Cadillac gets the XTS, Chevrolet will see the next generation Impala. But, not a day sooner.
