On a recent road trip to Niagara Falls.  We had the extreme pleasure of taking this long journey with a brand new Chevy Impala 2LT.  The car rode like a dream and made the trip a pleasure even while driving in the middle of the night.  It also had lots of legroom, even for my 6’4 husband, and plenty of space for travel gear, suitcases, and a 6 year old’s armada of backseat junk.  There was a table with cup holders that folded down in the backseat, which in itself made me love this car.  How much do you love a car built for a roadtrip?

The Impala is an innovation built of high tech materials and detailed sculpted designs on the exterior.  While the interior is plush and luxurious, with a huge touch screen with integrated GPS, Chevy MyLink, dual climate control and satellite radio.  The touchscreen is huge, but not dominating nor over powering while driving at night.  The other smart screen in vehicle is driver specific.  This one is meant for the driver’s view and is in place of the speedometer and  in dash information. The screen is customizable via on wheel controls, which can control just about everything just shy of your passengers, including audio, climate controls, collision detection and speed control.
