Default Your thoughts ont he new Malibu

Gm is really pushing this new offereing, I think its quite a step up for GM, though I know a few domestic haters are gonna say a BMW or Mecredes or better or some other 70s stigma.

2008 Chevrolet Malibu - First Drive - Motor Trend



the clay color is a but much, but it does come in all black as well

if it was more of a tan tone, it would be nice. or maybe without the upper dash parts matched, thats a bit much. looks great on the seats though. lose the seat piping. if they made the lower door panel insert the offset color, and lose the coloring that extends to the dash, it would be nice. looks like some buick cues on the interior to look a bit nicer. there's just something about the look of a GM interior still that doesn't do it for me though. quality is better but their designs just arent as sharp as most of the euro/asian counterparts.



the exterior still fails though. the snout is ugly, that grille setup belongs on a truck, and it looks fucking huge.


there are some GM cars out there now that i'd definitely look to buy, but with GM in the shitter and their stocks plummeting, im glad i stayed away.

I like the two tone look. The shade of tan/orange though is a bit much like dan said, but its different and actually looks pretty nice. Maybe if they changed the shade to something darker or lighter? It just looks too plasticy.

That kind of comment isn't needed.

LOGIC? You seriously want to invoke logic in a conversation about fake hijackings, missiles hitting the pentagon, and bombs planted throughout the world trade center? I thought it was a given that logic was checked at the door when entering one of these threads.

great job on the interior, back end looks awkward though. front end is ok.
