By: Wally Edgar Chevrolet The new engine and transmission options for the 2012 Chevrolet Impala are the main changes for next year; even though the full sized Chevy sedan has seen a real refresh since 2006. Many GM fans are hoping to see the Impala go after the Dodge Charger, which would mean the return of a rear wheel drive configuration and a big V8. GM has an amazing lineup of high performance V8 engines – now they just need that rear wheel drive layout. Rumors have been swirling that we could see the Pontiac G8/Holden Commodore return as a Chevrolet (possibly wearing the name Chevelle?) and that would satisfy the pleas for a RWD V8 sedan…but for the time being those are all just rumors. In the G8’s short time in the US as a Pontiac, sales were light compared to those seen by the Dodge Charger. The 2012 Buick LaCrosse is expected to get the same 3.6L V6 as the new Impala, although GMI did not verify whether it would offer the same 302hp as the Chevy. The current Buick LaCrosse, with 280hp, is very peppy so tacking another 22 horsepower under the hood of the flagship Buick could certainly up the ante against the likes of Lexus and Infiniti.
