AGAIN, this is a new product, not the replacement for an existing one. Also, it's still camouflaged -- and just a NASCAR shell, not a production body. It's not like Corvette and doesn't support your case.

BTW, the Impala SS is NOT going to be a fleet vehicle.

And it probably won't be white, either . . . .

The Impala and the SS are two different production cars.
The NASCAR vehicle does not represent the Impala SS. There is no Impala SS. It is the SS.

I like that interior, shows that GM/Chevrolet is at least paying attention.
And this new Impala is a pretty big deal too, it's a far cry from the one that it replaces (a car itself that was still a 'decent' seller, even outside of fleet sales) so this thing (along with the new Malibu and Cruze) is sort of a (very positive) new direction for Chevrolet.
That all bodes quite well for the next Corvette in my opinion.

easiest way i can think of this is with a past example. i was what? 19 when the 1997 corvette was released. i remember being surprised at just how cool the 1997 car was. had the public realized the 1997 was SO far ahead of the 1996 car i'm sure sales would have been even worse than they already were. we can only hope the c7 is as big of jump as the c4 to c5 was.

I dunno. I've always considered it an evolutionary vehicle. I think most folks do.
Now if the powers-that-be intend for the C8 to be truly revolutionary, fine. But historically, the Corvette has been evolutionary.
