Replying to: thegraduate (Mar 02, 2008 11:55 am) We looked at Honda Accord, Nissan Altima, Acura TL, And the Infiniti G35 and the Malibu. My wife still likes the infiniti g35 for looks but agrees that she was disappointed with the test drive. It was loud inside with a lot of road noise. At first we thought we liked the Nissan Altima but it looked really cheap inside after driving the Acura TL but the Malibu still was pleasing to the eye after the Acura testdrive. Actually we would have went with the Acura TL if the price to value would have been a little closer. We just could not justify 5-6000 more for the Acura. We enjoy this car as much as any previous car we owned. So if your parents really like the Malibu I suggest you go out to a couple chev. dealers with them and test drive one. Also we are getting what they advertise with gas mileage with the V6. I hope this helps.

Replying to: thegraduate (Mar 05, 2008 5:22 pm) The sales pretty much show off the car, and how great it is. As reviews have said, the last gen had the platform...but it was never showcased properly. It was, for all intensive purposes, a perfect Enterprise kind of a car. Actually, having an '07 for a month, that was a huge factor in us getting the '08...I enjoyed that car, and never expected it, and at the same time the all new '08s which were being raved about were just coming out. It's a fantastic car, and still nothing gets the comments, questions, stares, etc. our Gray/Titanium 2LT does, and then is still even more astounding to ride and drive in. We've owned a variety of vehicles from various classes, and it has them all beat so far for the overall "package". DON'T compare it to the last gen (aside from substance and quality, it's now a stunner and will NOT be fleeted in those numbers), the Impala (which is a bigger V6-only car, but the king of rental and fleet sales, on an ancient platform, is cramped inside despite the size, etc.), or various others. Compare it to the class standards, and see what you think.
