Not necessarily, but keep in mind that Impalas from the 50s and 60s, particularly SS models in good condition, are (figuratively speaking) worth their weight in gold today.
OK...your (and his) opinion noted. We'll see in a couple of years. In one sense, though, I agree with you on the excessively-raked roofline. Virtually every new sedan today is using that hump-back/droop-rear pattern, which not only screws up rear headroom/visibility and entry/exit but itself is looking dated, considering that everybody uses it now. It would be nice to see some new squared-off, space-efficient sedans again.
Fizz is correct, design so too bland, looks ok now, but next year it will already look dated.

I think GM wants to push individuals over to the Traverse or up to the LaCrosse for that option. They likely feel an AWD Impala would steal AWD LaCrosse sales, but at a lower profit margin. This is the problem with having a huge brand portfolio.

Should I say it? Ah, what the hell.
Looks like the new accord front end with a hyundai rear end.
Looks pretty good to me
However, this is the ONLY impala that has any style:
Hard to find a picture without the lowrider models that is work safe
Don't know how it ever went from this to your enterprise rentals
