More Praise for Chevy's New Impala

As it neared the end of its life, the old Chevy Impala had few fans -- aside from managers at rental car companies, who loved the fact that it was big, cheap, and reliable. But it was an old design that didn't compete well and needed big discounts to sell -- exactly the kind of product that General Motors really doesn't want to have around anymore.
