- Chevrolet introduced its new "Full Size“ model, which is equivalent to a E Segment  model in European classification.

- It is the 10th generation of the Impala, the top-range model of the mark (not taking into account the Camaro and Corvette which have a special position).. The Impala was introduced in 1958 as an option in Bel Air coupe and convertible range: a sportier and more richly equipped car. In 1959 it became a full  range(sedan, wagon, coupe, convertible) derived from Bel Air models. A more luxury version (Caprice) was launched in 1965.

- After disappearing in 1996, the Impala reappeared in 2000 as the replacement for the Lumina. Today, the Impala is the direct competitor of the Ford Taurus. It is built on the platform of the Buick La Crosse and Cadillac XTS. The 2013 Impala measure 510 cm long, 185 cm wide and 147 cm high. It has a 3.6-liter V6 engine. Base price: 27,535 dollars.

- To cushion the impact of the launch of the Impala, the Ford Taurus has been restyled. Both models are traditionally leaders in vehicle fleets and rental companies.
