These are the first spy-shots of the long awaited 10th generation of the Chevrolet Impala. The historic Chevy model debuted in its first incarnation as far back as 1958, whereas the current version debuted on the market in 2006, and since the latter was not a huge step forward in comparison to the previous one, we agree it’s definitely time for a change. Possibly a radical one. Judging by these excellent shots though, it seems like the good people from Chevy share the same opinion as the mule, even with that heavy camouflage on, looks way more sporty than the current version, also thanks to those grille inserts that somewhat remind us of the Camaro.

Moreover, there is also a sneaky, very interesting close-up shot of the interior that shows quite a dramatic improvement over the current model, with a stitched dashboard, aluminum accents and a pretty large LCD screen right in the middle.

As for now, there are no official info in regard to the engine range that will equip the new model, although it is rumored that a 3.6-litre V6 will definitely be part of the list. Good chance the new turbocharged 2.0-litre 4-cylinder engine developed by GM will find its way in the new Impala’s line up. Hybrid powertrains are also in the cards, but they will probably become available after the commercial launch. The production of the model should begin in January of 2013.
