| DRich Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 51 Posts: 4966 | I was just gifted a 2016 Chevy Impala with 14,000 miles on it. I haven't driven an American sedan since the 1980's with the exception of a rental car. All I can say is that it drives exactly as I would imagine an American sedan would. The car seems very heavy and doesn't want to stop nearly as well as cars that I am used to. It is a fine car and actually supports Apple Carplay which surprised me. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

I realize a Toyota Camry would be more of the equivalent of Chevy Impala, but you can't sell a 6 year old Impala and have enough money to purchase a Hybrid Camry. But you should be able to sell it and buy one of the new Toyota Corolla hybrids which were recently upgraded from 121 hp (like the Prius) to 134 hp. More importantly over 50 lb-ft of torque was added. 2023 hybrid Corolla MSRP From $22,800 MPG 53 city / 52 highway 2,850 lbs curb weight 1.8-liter 4-cylinder DOHC 16-valve with Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i); 134 hp , 156 lb.-ft. of torque 2022 hybrid Corolla 1.8 Liter 4-cylinder DOHC 16-valve engine with two electric motors and a 1.3 kWh battery. 121 hp , 105 lb-ft of torque, |

I assumed the Impala I have had a six cylinder because it has some get up and go. I guess I will have to check. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

Probably is a 6 cylinder as I assume you can feel an extra 100 hp. The V-6 Impala cost more than present day V-6 Camry V-6 but of course, you can't sell a 6 YO car for that today. I guess you will have to keep the Impala. 2023 Toyota Camry TRD V6 Horsepower: 301 hp MSRP: From $33,010 Engine: 3.5 L V6 EPA estimate about 720 gallons per year to drive 15,000 miles for the Impala EPA estimate about 570-600 gallons per year to drive 15,000 miles for the 2023 Toyota Camry with the V6 (Camry V6, XSE or TRD) |
