Didn't think I would be a fan of the new Impala until saw it in person, and took at for a test run. It's very well executed, I just wish GM made the 8 spd available for the 2014 model year end. Overall it's a solid car, with a really nice quiet interior. No point on paying top end for it's badge mate the XTS, when this V6 Impala delivers everything for around 35K nicely loaded. Don't like the look of the ES, but I can't deny the overall fit and finish and even the performance of the Lexus. The 300, though redesigned just a few years ago, is starting to show it's age.
Interesting article - I will say you throw in a couple options on the Lexus and you're over $40K territory easily (Because the price noted in article is "starting price") and Lexus cars come loaded not stripped versions! Just say'in....!

Yes, of course, I want a spirited-handling, gas-sipping sexy beast of a vehicle.
But I also want it to be quiet.
