Jackson Chevrolet | Hartford CT Chevrolet Dealer | 2008 Chevrolet Impala Reviews, Specs, Information

Chevy Impala conveys sophistication and exudes big-car roominess. On the exterior, large headlamps have a premium, jeweled appearance with three independent lighting units. These details complement other high-quality attributes, such as tight tolerances of 3.5 mm or less between body components and substantial â€œgrabâ€?-style door handles, to provide an overall feeling of solidity. Also, new, flat-blade windshield wipers are used to provide consistent pressure on the glass, which helps eliminate streaking and wind noise.

2008 Chevrolet Impala

Chevyâ€™s popular Impala was one of America's top 10 vehicles in sales during the 2006 model year and continued to attract more customers through'07 â€“ including a nearly 44-percent jump in February'07 alone. Indeed, the Impalaâ€™s combination of chiseled style, generous room, sporty driving characteristics and value answers the needs of a broad range of drivers.

The 2008 Impala reinforces the brandâ€™s value story with new features and revisions that add to its safety and efficiency, including the addition of standard StabiliTrak electronic stability control on 2LT, LTZ and SS models; and the addition of E85 FlexFuel capability to the 3.9L V-6 engine â€“ an engine that also is equipped with the fuel-saving Active Fuel Management feature.
