announced tonight, at its annual "Best of" awards show, that the

performance and power, a revamped luxurious interior and
top-of-the-line technology," said Patrick

of all brand-new 2014 models. The 2014 Impala is a truly
transformed car."
Other nominees for the "Best of 2014" award included the Acura
MDX, Hyundai Santa Fe, Kia Forte,
Mazda3 and Mazda6.
"Our team of experts evaluated dozens of cars to determine which
was worthy of this honor," said OIsen. "While the Impala topped our
list as the overall 'Best of 2014,' each finalist represents the
best in its class, and shoppers can be assured that each has our
full seal of approval."
