Car looks good but the is that the base model? The one they show in the commercial and all the internet ads looks really tight

yeah, i went and checked that one out.. honestly cant say i'm a fan, i don't think it looks like anything spectacular.. but, to each their own

indeed. i wouldnt make it a DD, but im sure the ole fiance will convince me to pick it up for her and trade in her tired sunfire

Yes, Kasey's dad got the LS 4cyl, but in a few months you will be able to option the 4cyl up the the LTZ trim with two tone leather, and all the luxuries without sprining for the V6. And it will be the only 4cyl midsizer with a 6spd auto.
The LTZ does look good. I sat in a black one with the two tone brown/ebony leather interior like in the ads....holy crap, I looked at my 04 in disgust...
GM has come a long way in 4 model years...

i will admit, this one is much more 'malibuey' than yours.. while being a nice car, it should not have been badged a malibu

What, does it need a big block, a TH400, and a 12 bolt to be a Malibu?

No, but it helps ;)
