Nice Impala ! Much better than the one done by Maisto fifteen years ago. I bought it as a yellow taxi (a police version was available too). The shape was correct, but Maisto didn't bother to do any of the black trim : door frames, bits in the bumpers, headlights surrounds... I had to paint them myself. It's a shame because Maisto did bother to paint the black stuff accurately on its 1/18 Impala.
I guess Maisto gave much more importance to its 1/18 models back then.
By the way, the 2006-2011 Impala is available in 1/43, courtesy of American Heritage Models, but it looks a bit strange, too rounded, as if it was made from an older VW Passat.

I'm not sure I'd like to pay 35 euros for that.
