Another addition to my GM Family..

Mum got a 2012 Impala LTZ yesterday in Imperial Blue Metallic.. I must say.. Not a fan of space ships, but this is a fun one to drive. :)

They're nice, but not my cup of tea. It just felt odd to drive-kind of like sitting atop an elephant and steering it with reigns. I had one for about 11 days when my SS was in the shop. Fire engine red. The seat was stiff, the dash was plain, and the car handled like a pig.

The LTZ on the other hand, I would certainly expect much much better from that trim package than the LT that I had. I'm not going to lie. When the Impala first came out, I saw one at a McDonald's drive through while I was at a stop light across a ways from it. I thought it was great looking. Not many people can remember the first time they've laid eyes on a car... it must have had an impact, lol.

The guy that works next to me has a white SS Impala and he is meticulous about its upkeep. Beautiful car. While one might argue about a bit dated style, I really like it and told him to keep me in mind when he gets ready to trade.
I bet it is really attractive in that blue!

It was looking good when we pulled it out.. My only complaint. I could already see hairline scratches on it from the "detail" shop cleaning it up for us to take home.

Tell them. That's unacceptable. Good eye!
