So what does this entail with the other car(s) that are dead and broken in your driveway(s)?

ahahah, well maybe not that long. LS1 swap is still on track unless something major comes up.
Whats funny is on my way down there, the trans started to fail, and got stuck in 2nd or 3rd gear, so I was spinning at 4500rpm at 65mph. Not good at all.
I calculated the cost of trans replacement, adding a cat, replacing teh horn and making that work, plus everything else....it was about a year's payment towards a new car.

Congrats, man. Considering one of those myself in the future, but will probably wait to see what the next generation Malibu will look like.

Talks from the people that came out of the GM Design stuidos a few weeks ago say its very Camaro esque in the D pillar/rear quarter area. Even has Camaro esque tail lights.
A lot of the new Chevy interiors have also had been influenced by Camaro's dual pod guage design. Equinox and Traverse both have a similar design.
Malibu will be around 2012/2013ish.

Yeah, I read that from press that have seen it they said it's a show stopper. Right now I'm in love with the new LaCrosse and if the funds are there I'd go for that. But this current Malibu is a very good car, so I can only imagine the 2012/2013 will be even beeter.
