The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) provides 3
different ratings -
full-width frontal crash test
,
side impact crash test
, and
rollover resistance
. The frontal crash test indicates how
well the safety features and restraints
will protect an occupant in a head-on
collision. The side-impact test conveys
the chance of a severe chest injury,
while the rollover resistance rating
estimates the risk of rolling over in a
single vehicle crash.

Summary:
|
The rebirth of an American icon brings better handling, more room.
By Phil Berg, NewCarTestDrive.com
Chevy was aiming for a car to carry the Impala heritage. Instead the GM division got a capable, quick, and fun car that drives nothing like Impalas of old. And that's good news. You can bet there was debate whether to dredge up the image of old, ill-handling Impalas by resurrecting the name, but for younger generations who never knew the older versions of the car, "Impala" will mean something entirely different.Overall, the Impala is the state-of-the-art in six-seat sedans. |
|
Overview:
|
The 1960's Impala was the closest Detroit ever came to a car that was everything to everybody, selling more than a million copies in 1965. That's an impossible task for a four-wheeled machine to accomplish today. But the dream name survives on what is now a super-refined Lumina, built on a much-modified Pontiac Grand Prix platform. Viewed from the outside, the 2000 Impala is not the biggest passenger car Chevy sells. But it's big inside. Equipped with its powerful 3.8-liter V6, the new Impala is a quick car, more spunky than the six-seat models from Toyota, Dodge, Ford and Buick. And with unique suspension tuning, this new Chevy Impala is not the wallowing boat of the '60s Impalas. Badged for the 2000 model year, the Impala is Chevy's first new millennium car. But it began to arrive at dealers in early April 1999.
