The 2009 Impalas are already sitting at dealership lots. Changes to the full-size, front-wheel-drive sedan for the 2009 model year include additional safety features such as standard antilock brakes, traction control and side-impact airbags. An electronic stability system is optional, however, and only available on the higher-end 2LT, LTZ and SS models.
In an attempt to clear old 2008 inventory from dealership lots, General Motors has recently revived its employee pricing. 2008 Impalas get a discount, but 2009 model year cars don’t qualify for the lower price. This is a prime time to pick up a 2008 Impala since you likely can get a higher trim Impala with those previously mentioned options for less than a 2009 model. Below is an example from our KickingTires coverage on the sale, but to find all offers in your area go to the GM website, here.
