Looks like I'm not the only one turned off by 43 identical cars, besides for the stickers that is.

That looks great.

Not true! I wanna see the Charger kick everyone else's V6-powered ass! Love the change, wish they were changing more than just the looks... The 2013 Charger looked awesome, but we will have to wait and see what happens with that one...

Impala has or maybe had a v-8 option (SS, 5.3 ltr).. albeit fwd.

Thought the latest version was a supercharged v6?

The only supercharged v-6 I know of is the 3.8 and I"m pretty sure they stopped making that motor. As far as I know the SS impala has always been a 5.3 v-8.

"The 2004 to 2005 Impala SS came equipped with the 3.8 liter (231 cu in) supercharged L67 V6 engine.[25] It was rated at 240 horsepower (180 kW) and had been previously used in the Pontiac Grand Prix GTP, Buick Regal GS, Buick Riviera, and H-body Pontiac Bonneville SSEI and Buick Park Avenue "Ultra". The lightweight front-wheel-drive sedan was actually quicker than the vaunted 1990s Impala SS, with 0–60-mile-per-hour (0–97 km/h) times pushing 6.5 seconds compared to the earlier model's 7.1 second 0–60 time. To commemorate Chevrolet's long relationship with the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and the Indianapolis 500 race, a limited edition (4,088 produced) Impala Indy SS was offered in 2004 featuring black grille with gold Chevrolet bowtie emblem, various Indy logos on exterior and interior, 17" chrome wheels, gauge cluster package, and more."

"The SS was the top-of-the-line model until 2008. It offered a 5.3L Vortec V8 engine, leather-and-suede seating surfaces, eighteen-inch machined-finished alloy wheels, and unique SS badging. Due to its unpopularity, the SS trim was discontinued in 2008, leaving the LTZ as the top-of-the-line model for 2009."

Had to look it up...

We're both right. There's no V8 option now though...

Check check it!

Wow - way to ruin the Blue Deuce... The 22 looks good, though...

None of the cars look that good from the rear 3/4 view. The fronts look good. Now if NASCAR would just make the manufacturers run the car's production engines...

Running high strung 6's wouldn't be terrible...although it would be awesome to see ford be forced to put a V8 in the Fusion to satisfy the regs. Toyota could switch to Lexus...they've got V8s a plenty.

I dont know Sim, I think the Deuce looks freakin sweet. Love the throwback colors like the old Rusty Miller Light car. Not to big on the white wheels but all in all a snazzy ride....
