2017 Chevy Impala – redesign of a cult flagship sedan

The redesigned Impala is not all new for 2017, but why would you change something so successful?
The 2017 model will be the tenth generation of this iconic vehicle, and with 169,000 units sold in just one year (2012), this is one of the most popular full-size sedans in the U.S.

Chevrolet is trying to increase the market share for the Impala, it plans to do this by offering a wider variety of engines; two 4-cylinder engines and the flagship (& exclusive) 3.6 liter V6.
The ecotec 2.4 liter 4-cylinder comes with eAssist and Chevrolet say that gas consumption should be around the 35 MPG mark when driving on the highway.
Chevrolet take safety very seriously, for this reason, you’ll find anti-collision systems, rear camera, park-assist, adaptive cruise control, lane guidance and ten airbags all fitted as standard equipment,

Volvo S90 Excellence's Lounge Console

The Lounge Console doubles as a mobile work station and entertainment center with a large touchscreen display built in it. The sumptuous arrangement offers a heated and cooled cup holder, a refrigerator, and Swedish-made Orrefors crystal glasses. The front passenger seat is eliminated to make room for all of this. Overhead, the roof offers a full panoramic view.

The S90 Excellence was shown ahead of the Guangzhou Motor Show, which will be held in late November. It will be built in Daqing near Harbin. The sole engine option will be the T8 Twin Engine plug-in hybrid version. Volvo showed previous Lounge Console concepts at the Beijing and Shanghai motor shows.

Volvo says the Excellence will be exported globally from the Northeastern China factory, following the S60 Inscription model which is also built there and sold in the United States. US implications are unclear for the S90 Excellence. A Volvo spokesman did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

"China will play an increasingly important part in our global manufacturing ambitions. Our factories here will deliver world-class products for export across the globe in coming years, contributing to our objective of selling up to 800,000 cars a year by 2020," Volvo CEO Håkan Samuelsson said in a statement.

2017 Lincoln Continental pricing undercuts Cadillac CT6

Base model starts at $45,485, 400-hp Black Label priced at $69,105.

At the top of the pile, Lincoln offers its Black Label models, and well, we’ll just let you bask in their words for a moment: “Lincoln Black Label is a curated collection of luxury designer themes combined with a personalized client experience and membership privileges.” It’s as if American Express opened an artisanal airport brewpub! The salient cash-money outlays are as follows: a 2.7 FWD car will run $63,840, adding AWD predictably ticks the clock up to $65,840, while the full-boat 3.0 AWD models start at $69,105. For the $9000 price premium over Reserve models, the wheels gain an inch in diameter, the headlamps go LED, a 19-speaker Revel Ultima sound system is standard, and you get a floormat upgrade involving faux-suede trim and Black Label badging. Opt for the Luxury package on the Reserve models, and you’ll snare the fancy hi-fi and headlights for only a $5000 surcharge. So what else does Black Label give you over Reserve?

Floormats and dubs aside, the Black Label offers “ultra-soft Venetian leathers” as part of three interior treatments. The wintry-mix Chalet interior is supposed to remind one of “the inherent comfort of the après ski lodge,” while Rhapsody hopes to evoke the feeling of music. With its aluminized silver mesh and deep navy materials, we find it more reminiscent of the halcyon days of mid-20th-century air travel. Presumably, the earth-toned Thoroughbred will be stabled at domiciles decorated exclusively with items from the Ralph Lauren Home collection. Beyond the fancy interior treatments, membership in the Black Label society will not garner you a one-on-one audience with guitarist Zakk Wylde, but it will grant you a dinner for two at one of Lincoln’s Culinary Collection restaurants. Ford’s luxury division also will deliver your new ride directly to you, as long as you’re within 30 miles of a Black Label dealership. Shoppers 35 miles away might consider moving for that privilege. They’ll also fix you up with complimentary anytime car washes and a once-a-year detailing. Too busy to visit the Lincoln store? The “Shopping Concierge” will bring a “mobile showroom” to you.
