08 Malibu... me likey.
 

Got one into the driveway Friday night... last Saturday my dad's hyundai got totalled by some dumbass from Virginia in a pickup trying to make a u-turn on the PIP to go back ofver the GW bridge. They weren't hurt and good riddance to that damn car... got a dark blue 08 malibu LS now, and DAMN I'm a fan! Not bad for a 4 cyl too.

Pics to come later

There was a post about this car a few weeks ago here

:scratch: idiots...


but in any event, congrads on the car. make haste with the pics

Yeah, I actually kinda like the things too, but if they dont stop playing the damn commercial for it on every break during Sunday Football, Im gonna start hating the car very fast. Pics asap Kasey, Id like to see this one.

as everyone else said, pics ASAP. I like the looks too

definitely a good lookin car

Just read about that in Motor Trend or the like, seems awesome!

I just got back from our GM training on this car, and have sold several already. Sharp car, can't wait to replace my G6, hopefully within the next 10 months. I want to drive the LTZ model, with the 4 cyl and 6 speed auto when that becomes available.

I thought the LTZ has the 6 cyl and the A6?

In the first part of production that will be the standard, however later down the road (probably spring) the LTZ will be standard with the 2.4 and 6 speed auto (only available on the LTZ, all other trims use the 4 speed). The 3.6 will be optional at all trim levels except LS.

New C&D loves it too. Also made the 10-best list.

3 GMs (Malibu, CTS, Vette) made the list! Very good for the General.

MT loves it too. Just took 2nd behind the MT 2007 COTY Camry, beating the all new Accord and all new Altima, all equiped with the V6 engine.

Yes, GM has finally snapped the hell out of it, and is offereing a 4cyl with all features of a high end car without buying the V6. The 6spd auto is a great addition.

I was up around there for the GM training for the Astra drive. I saw a bunch of Bu's line up next to Fusions and other sedans. I didnt get to drive them though...booo.

Good choice man, told you that your dad would be happy.

Dad's happy, yeah... but ****, I keep begging for the keys! :lol:

Only thing is Sat. morning (signed paperwork and took the car home friday night... it was dark) my dad noticed it looks like someone at the dealership tapped a parking block with it... a few scratches you can see in the pics. Dealership's saying it's probably from takign it off the delivery truck.... oh well, they're picking up the bill so w/e.

A couple pics to whet appetites

I love the chrome detailing that is nicely put around the car. The strip that splits the lower facia holes, the trim around the side markers, the chrome around the greenhouse, around the guages, just very very cool.
The dark colors make this car look even better. They keep showing it in silver ont he commercials...DARK COLORS DAMN IT!!
Good choice man. congrats to your dad.

:?:

You work at a Saturn dealer? I was up there for training on Monday. I hate the Meadowlands on cold windy days.

Great looking Malibu, Kasey. Any pics of the interior?

i dont get it, my friend has a 07 camry and he hates it. and in car and driver the new accord beat out the camry. so strange

I'm thinking about trading my 07 subaru impreza for the LTZ.

looks good kasey

Those new Malibus are REALLY nice, car will be a runaway hit for GM/Chevrolet I bet. :cheers:

Funny my wife has an 05 camry and hates the damn thing. Awful in the rain let alone snow. Interior has more rattles then a snake. I can't wait to get rid of the damn thing.

they had one of them sitting inside the rockaway mall this weekend...definitly nice

I wish they made an V8 powered one, i'd consider buying it

First the new Camaro now the Malibu. Finally GM and Chevy are making a good looking car. Hopefully they are on the path to redesigning all their cars to be cool again. I was definatly surprised When I saw the commercal for this car. Good luck with it!!
