In Germany a car is male, the Impala too.
Oct. 13th, 2008 09:21 pm OMG - Supernatural is on TV in Germany with the premiere of episode 2x03 "Bloodlust" (Yes, we're that far behind!)
AND THEY TRANSLATED THE IMPALA AS A "HE"!!!
Soundtrack: AC/DC "Back In Black"

The Metallicar zooms up a 2-lane, driven by Dean. He is in a good mood, grooving along to his music. Several gratuitous shots of the shiny new car.
DEAN
Whoo! Listen to HIM purr! Have you ever heard anything so sweet?
SAM
You know, if you want to get a room with HIM, just let me know, Dean.
DEAN
Oh, don't listen to him, baby. He doesn't understand us.
*LMAO*
Okay, side info: car would translate to "der Wagen" which is male. You could also use "das Auto" oder "das Fahrzeug", both a neuter and don't fit with the content. Motorbikes are female, btw, "die Maschine" or "das Motorrad" which would be neuter, again. Funny.
