Depends on the price of natural gas compared to regular gasoline and the MPG, as well as if there are filling stations in my area that offer it. That said, I am not in the market for an Impala, but if I was, I would examine the above criteria.

I like that it's a "bi-fuel" vehicle. CNG does not deliver the same MPG as gasoline, but the cost per mile is dramatically lower. Thus, in town where MPG would be lower, an owner would stick with CNG, but on a long trip would use gasoline for its superior MPG and range in a highway setting. The problem with CNG cars has been trunk space because inevitably the tank was an add on. This is a good move on GM's part.
