This (Impala) is a nice looking car, both inside and out. I've been looking at vehicles in the 35-40k price range, and here is what I have come up with thus far:
Audi A4 Quattro 6-Speed
Buick Regal GS AWD
BMW 3-Series x-Drive
Chevrolet Camaro SS 6-Speed
Chevrolet Impala LTZ w/ 3.6L V6
Thoughts on each:
Audi - Very nice German sedan. Excellent drivetrain, I think they fixed the oil consumption issue with the 2014+ models. Looks great in brilliant black.
(A4 Premium Quattro 6-Speed Manual in Brilliant Black w/ 18" RS wheels and heated seats)
$37,300
Buick - Only looks good in GS trim, which pushes the sticker north of 40k. Good powertrain. Looks good with either wheel option. Interior reminds me of Saab. Looks best in black.
(2015 Regal GS AWD, No Options)
$40,230
BMW - Typical BMW build quality (good). Looks like a Honda. Nickel and dimed on every option. Like the GS, the AWD is only available in an automatic. Looks best in Grey IMO.
(2015 328i xDrive Sedan, No Options)
$41,000
Camaro - Fun and proven powertrain. Completely impractical. Awful ergonomics. Looks best in black.
(2015 Camaro 1SS w/ RS Package, Dual Mode Perf. Exhaust, Boston Acoustics Sound System)
$37,240
Impala - Practical. Proven powertrain that sounds good under full throttle. Steering wheel belongs in the late 90's or early 2000's. Looks great in blue velvet metallic. Comfortable. Plenty of room inside. Looks great on 19's.
