This video will cover the 2000-2005 Chevrolet Impala.

Arriving at dealers in early April 1999, the 8th generation Impala went on sale for the 2000 model year.

During this time, the strong-selling Chevy Lumina was still available. For size comparison, the new Impala rode on a wheelbase three inches longer although being an inch shorter overall than the Lumina.

Chevy’s new sedan offered more room and equipment for the price compared to a contemporary Accord or Camry, although the Japanese-brand rivals were perceived as being more polished all-around.

The new-for-2000 Impala was more aggressive-looking than its Lumina stablemate. The sedan sported smoked headlamp lenses and large circular tail lamps. It was mentioned that John Cafaro and his team looked to Impalas of the 1960s for inspiration.

This video will also cover the 2004 and 2005 Chevrolet Impala SS. There was no V8, however, the new Impala SS gained a healthy supercharged 3800 engine cranking out 240 ponies. It was mentioned that the 2004 Impala SS was just as quick as the previous 1996 Impala SS.

Check out the video for more information regarding the 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005 Chevy Impala.
