Default 2014 Impala - 1LTZ V-6? Fleet?

I've been looking at some used 2014s. One dealer has about 3 - 4 2014s that are listed as 1LTZ Fleet and the cars have the 3.6 V-6. According to Chevy, the only difference between the 1LTZ and the 2LTZ is the 4 vs. the 6 so why would these be designated 1LTZ when they have the 6 in them?
Also the listing specifies "Fleet." What does that mean in the context of a used car listing?
The prices on these cars are very good and the mileage is acceptably low - one is just over 10K miles.
is the 1LTZ with a 6 or "fleet" something I should consider as a red flag?

fleet=RENTAL

Also - it could mean the old body style which was still produced in 2014 for rentals.

And doing a quick google on 2013 models with 1ltz, there are v6 options.

So it sounds like your 2014 impala 1ltz fleet with a v6 is the old body style.

This is most likely the "Impala Limited". It is the old style (Last Generation 2006-2013) Impala. They are still in production for fleet sales only. If you are not interested in driving the latest and greatest, they can be a bargain.

I've been doing a little more digging on this particular car. It does appear to be a Limited. I ran a VIN check and the picture does show the old body style. Oh well - I was looking for a new car - no one that looks just like my current 2010 Impala.

It can not be a Impala Limited and be the current body style, no such thing exists. Can you get the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) for this car ? If the fourth digit is a "W" than it is an Impala Limited (Old Body Style) If it is a "1", than it is the new body style.
