When did Chevy put this awful grille on the Impala?

I don’t remember this happening.

Nothing in this front end design is cohesive, it looks like a random assembly of ideas.

Oh wow. That’s bad.

On a plus note, while they didn’t fix the stupid badge placement on the Malibu they at least minimized its stupidity.

“ Nothing in this front end design is cohesive, it looks like a random assembly of ideas.”

So....a standard GM product then?

It unfortunately reminds me of the old Honda H logo.

I nteresting - have not seen one. I can attest they were normal in 2017, maybe a new 2018 refresh?

It’s definitely Shitty Styling.

I thought it was a Hybrid m odel until I googled it a few months ago and realized that  this is their half-assed definition of a “facelift”.

What the heck happened. Why did they redesign it. It was perfectly mediocre before. LIKE NOT EVEN AS AN INSULT. I thought it was perfectly FINE as a boring front end.

Aggressively anonymous. If it wasn’t for that weird body line on the side you wouldn’t hardly be able to identify it without the badges.

Yeah, it definitely reads very “we blocked off the grille because it’s a hybrid” to me as well.

I noticed that the bumper is trying to mimic the new Camaro body lines as well and is failing miserably.

People don’t buy those where I live, but I did see one today, what a lame car!

I think it has been an option since this body style went on sale. I remember seeing a few and thinking they were horrible.

It reminds me of a Kia grille the way it ‘pinches’ in the middle with a Chevy bowtie set inside .

For some designs I agree....I find some these days are just ‘LET’S MAKE EVERYTHING OUT OF BLACK PLASTIC AND ANGLES!’

I don't think much thought was put into that piece of crap.

That’s the grill you get when you opt for the ACC. And yes, it’s terrible for a car that is pretty ok looking

THEN ADD ANGLES TO THE ANGLES, AND JAM SOME MORE LEDs IN THERE!

That was their solution for cars with Adaptive Cruise Control. Been there since 2014. It's also why I think a lot of these aren't optioned with ACC.

Shows you the take rate, I’ve never seen one and it’s 2018. That being said, at least 50% I’ve seen are either rentals or GM courtesy  loaners.
