Sure, but not everyone wants a CTS or a MB or a BMW.
LTZ's can now also be had with the 2.4 and 6spd auto. 6spd auto will be available for all trims sans LS, standard for LTZ.
The Malibu, from where it has come from to where it is now, is stunning for a family sedan.
Chevy offers several colors. Brick/Ebony is only available in LTZ, and in person it looks AWESOME!! My neighbor and the Tech I work with both have LTZ's with this interior...its hotness.
Here are the other colors.
Base LS/Hyrbid Interior
There are a couple more variations, but there are a lot of choices to pick from.
and look at that IP..oooooo
