Review: 2012 Chrysler 300 SRT8 [w/video]

Filed under: Sedan , Performance , Chrysler , Luxury Imported From Detroit And Then Some To the average driver, the term “horsepower” has, for all intents and purposes, no meaning whatsoever. Not surprising, really, as there isn’t any single established explanation, at least not a good one, as to how today’s piston-powered engines became so intertwined with the output of a horse.

Spy Shots: 2013 Chevrolet Impala caught testing

Filed under: Spy Photos , Sedan , Chevrolet , GM After languishing in mediocrity for far too long, the 2013 Chevrolet Impala can’t come soon enough, and our shooters managed to snag a camouflaged prototype – both inside and out – for the first time. Based on the long-wheelbase version of the Epsilon 2 platform, the reimagined Impala is set to be powered by a choice of either GM’s 3.6-liter V6 or its recently revealed 270-horsepower, turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder .

The genius of race car driver Paul Stender , he of jet-powered port-o-potty and 350-mph school bus fame, this ’67 Impala was conceived with the best intentions: Make the legend come true.
