    Default New Malibus are in



    I like em. More room and better driving position than its sibling the Regal IMO. Now they need a Malibu with manual trans and 2.0 turbo like a Regal, screw this eAssist nonsense

    I think getting a turbo 6a would be cool, but will never happen

    I stopped in at my local dealer the other day and took a couple pics of a Malibu Eco model that was $28,470.

    Yup, was playing with it at the Chicago Auto Show last night. Too bad it's really obv it does it, so it's not really secret.

    Rear quaters look much better that before, although that panel still looks out of place. New tail lights are a much needed improvement as well imop.

    Im waiting to see what the LTG in the ATS is gonna be like. I haven't heard anything about them using that engine in the malibu although the base model ATS is supposed to share engines with the malibu.

    I didn't think these were out yet until I saw one at the dealer earlier. The new one makes the previous year even more outdated looking than it already did. It looks pretty good, except for the taillights

    I'm really liking the new GMs, the last Malibu was a giant step forward in the design and this ones better. Those taillights look a little odd tho

    I'm the opposite... I'm not liking much of anything they've put out lately.

    I was on Cadillac's website yesterday and checked out the ATS videos. I was drooling. Car looks badass, and has everything to justify it. Cadillac says it gets the magneteorheliological (sp?) shocks and the Cue infotainment system, along with a 2.0t producing 270bhp/260btq. If the Malibu is half the car it'll be impressive.
