2015 Impala - only 2 changes ?
In looking at chevy's site, the 2015 Impala has only two changes:
- Available 4G LTE connectivity
- Colors: Delete color "blue ray metallic"; Delete color "blue topaz metallic"; Add color "velvet blue metallic"

Power sunroof
Enjoy the exhilaration of open-air driving in your Impala<sup>®</sup>.
- A power sunshade can be closed when you want to block light from entering the cabin from above
- In addition, your rear seat passengers will appreciate the fixed-glass skylight positioned immediately behind the tilt-sliding sunroof glass
On 1LTZ, this feature requires the available Comfort and Convenience Package.

Is the Blue Velvet all that different from the Blue Ray? In pictures it looks almost exactly the same. I'll echo that about the Blue Topaz though, it doesn't seem to be as common as the Ray at all. I saw more than a couple Rays on the road during a road trip in April, but none in the Topaz. The Topaz was still too new for them to find one for me back in September.
EDIT: Further reading about the start/stop tech makes it sound like a benefit.

Remember, start/stop is only available with the 2.5L. The Impala is too large to be hoisted around by 190HP. I would consider dropping some features in order to opt for the 305HP V6. If fuel economy is an issue, then maybe consider a different car. The V6 is the best engine for the Impala, especially if you are dropping serious coin on a LTZ, leather, ect.
By the way, the 2.5L was adequate my 2013 Malibu and I considered it a great engine. But for the heavier Impala, I didn't want a slower car.

When looking at the features list on the site, I thought that the V6 had the noise-cancellation stuff in it, but I was looking at the wrong column.

Yeah the V6 doesn't get the noise cancellation. Its a good thing though. Those who have 'opened up' the V6 on a long straight know what I mean. It sounds incredible. A very unexpected sound from a big sedan.

I will be replacing the Bridgestones with real tires next month.
