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.

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.

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.

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.

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!!
