I have an Impala SS Limited edition with that engine in it and I agree that it is not much compared to supercharged Dodge Charger or Chrysler 300M supercharged Hemi.
It does have good pickup passing people in highway lanes , but still an underpowered car. The gas milage is not all that either like 19 - 28

so i guess its all show no go
it is a pleasant driving car...no glaring faults to make you want to kick the fender when you climb out of it. it has a very appealing interior...nice dashboard full of easy to read gauges with needles and numbers, not a "pac-man" digital dash.
GM's front wheel drive 4-speed automatic is my reference standard for shift "feel"...smooth, unobtrusive upshifts and quick part throttle downshifts.
the larger v6 has adequate power for my tastes, a lot of bottom end torque where most of us drive...but power does drop off quickly at the upper end of torque curve....no screaming 6000rpm power like in a vtec honda.....but how often do most of us hit 6000 rpm?
awesome, fantastic air conditiong....VERY important in this hot, humid city.
except of that butt-ugly trunk/tail lights, an attractive car.
not very space efficient on the inside for it's bulk on the outside.....this is NOT a small car to park.
