For the first time in two decades, a car built by Detroit's Big 3 has bested the likes of Japan's and Europe's best to win the top spot among all sedans from Consumer Reports.

The 2014 Chevrolet Impala, a completely revamped model that was previously a rental-fleet mainstay, scored so high in the magazine's testing that it is on the same footing as luxury models like Lexus and Jaguar.

The magazine, the most respected reviewing publication because of its legendary independence, says the Impala's high score is proof that Detroit's auto industry -- and General Motors in particular -- is coming back.

"The Impala's performance is one more indicator of an emerging domestic renaissance," says Jake Fisher, director of Consumer Reports automotive testing, in a statement. "We've seen a number of redesigned American models—including the Chrysler 300, Ford Escape and Fusion, and Jeep Grand Cherokee— deliver world-class performance in our tests."

1. No, that's unpossible. A 'government run' company producing the highest rated car in the world?

I can't say I'm surprised. I bought a Cruze in 2011 after last having a Chevy in the 1980s (a 1977 Chevy Vega). It took me that long to go back after that POS, but I like the Cruze a lot so far. We'll see in 5 years, but it still seems very solid and quiet.

3. I hope it works out for you - and thus for us. In the mean time, I'll take every opportunity to rub

positive developments in GOP degenerates' faces.
