I thought the 2008-2009 Impala SS 5.3 was a FWD and had a 4T65E-HD transmission?

Interestingly, during my travels to Dubai, there were Australian built Chevy Luminas, Impalas and Caprice cars, with 5.3 and 5.7 LS engines, RWD and not FWD.

GM built specific cars for use in the middle east. Those cars happened to be built in Australia and driver location same as the USA.Saw them powered by the 3.6 DOHC, 5.3 and 5.7 platforms.
