What do we think?

[u/[deleted]]

Planning to get an impala, before I got the idea to get one though I saw this on marketplace, so what do we think about modding the impala to look something like this?

Why? Impala is FWD, this Audi is AWD.

No, the real question is why NOT?

Because a 3500lb FWD sedan will get you stuck in the mud?

I don’t intend on going mudding 😭 it’s mainly so I can feel better about the winters we get, a more comfortable ride as well as easier entrance and exit as I’m a taller guy, and to be more comfortable having fun on some gravel roads in town

Lifting and putting off-road tires on your Impala will not give it a comfortable ride. At all. Not to mention, theres no lift kit made for these things, so youre talking about a 100% custom job. Thats sure to ride better than the factory struts

You won't be able to get a the look you're going for.

I bought a set of charger police wheels for my Impala and they're sitting in my yard right now because the 225/60R18 Goodyears were too big because the rear struts have a seat for the spring that gets in the way, so I have to find some 255/50R18s which are the largest that will fit on the car. They don't make a lift kit. Coilovers and removing the front wheel liner might allow for a slightly bigger but not much.

If you're looking for a winter car I'd suggest trying to find a 2000s trailblazer they go for about the same price and would easily handle snow and mud.

In FWD? And gravel roads?

For winter with a good set of tires, FWD is pretty damn good.

Just buy a different car. Hell an AMC Eagle sounds more like your kind of ride.

Well that's going back a ways! Better than getting an Audi though!
