New Chevy Impala Has Infiniti M Styling Cues

At today's New York International Auto Show, Chevy released the 2014 Impala, which will hit the market next Spring. The new Chevy is based-off the same platform as Caddy's upcoming flagship XTS luxury sedan. The Impala's front-end resembles that of the sporty two-door Camaro, while the side profile screams Infiniti M in our eyes. See if you can determine which one of the photos is that of Infiniti's flagship, the M. If you selected the second photo, you're correct! Now that's not a bad thing to compare a Chevy to an Infiniti, if you're Chevy. Unfortunately, the folks from Infiniti might not agree with us. However, don't let that point get lost in the message. The real story is that this big Chevy has gone upscale. Here are some of the features one should expect, when it arrives next year....
