Why does Cadillac get all the good designs at GM?

Seriously Uncool as it's resembles a bloated whale.
 
Resounding Meh. Looks like the Toyota Aurion and VF Commodore had a baby, and a rather uninspiring-looking list of engines.
 
No real feelings on this other than it makes a really nice rental car. Uncool.

The Cadillac equivalent of this car is atrocious looking.

That it does, but overall Cadillac has a much better looking line-up than Chevrolet, GMC or Buick (at least in my mind).
 
Not bad, but not good, either.

A simple meh will suffice.
 
Attractive saloon. Cool.
 
I'll give it a low cool. I wouldn't consider the Impala a particularly exciting car. But I still think it's a good car.
 
@lxmmy, and anyone else who just posts what they voted without giving a reason, please stop. If anyone really wanted to know just what one member voted, they could just click on the number of votes on the poll results.
 
Doesn't look like your typical rental car anymore. Cool.
 
To me, this is NOT an impala. When I think of the impala, I think before of the ones from the 1960's.
So since it's a newer one, I give it a seriously uncool.
 
Better than 2006-2013 (i guess) Impala but still Uncool at the end.
 
Better then the last 2 generations but its too over styled tbh.

Seriously uncool because regular family car.
 
The only thing this shares with the early Impala lowriders now is the name. All the charm sucked out to make it a humdrum sedan.

Uncool.
 
Looks good, and is a pretty decent car according to most reviews.

Wish it were RWD, but still gets a cool.

The Impala hasn't been cool since the Nixon Administration.

Agreed, meh because no manual option and there isn't anything exciting about it. Just GM.
 
I honestly love these.
 
Generic American "Sedan". Meh
 
Not a beauty but not ugly... Pretty much average...

A manual isn't going to make this any cooler. If anything, it'll just make it feel cheaper.

This. I recognize there's always going to be that manual-all-the-things brigade, and people are entitled to being intentionally narrow-minded, but some cars just don't need a row-your-own.

This is surprisingly handsome, with some serious rear-view mirror presence. But sadly, it's not cool. Nothing in the giant-FWD-sedan class really is.

Look at the Mazda 6. It's got one and doesn't need it. That's why I like it.

The diesel Mazda 6 needs it, just as every diesel car, since auto transmissions tend to rev the engine up to the redline (5.2 k rpm in case of the Mazda) when kicked down, but a modern diesel does not need more than 4.5 k rpm to accelerate fast. Also clutch shifting yourself is way more fun. In every car.

Back to the Impala: Seriously uncool. Ugly design, non economical engines. No manual option, it's heavy. I have never driven one, but for me this is the definition of the most boring drivin experience.

IMO, of course (waiting for the hate :scared::lol:)
