Already hearing it from my friends. What your trading your car for a CHEVY???? I feel a little dumb but, I know what I drove. They like the look. But, they think it is no good. I have always had imports my whole life. I am eager to get this car to show them the difference. I will have to make them rethink. I don't care what they think. If more people do this. GM would get some extra love.

That's what it all about for Chevy, changing peoples perception one car at a time. It's a shame the economy tanked right when GM was getting some good products(Malibu, CTS,Traverse) out.
 
My neighbor that used to own a repair shop came over to check out my car just after I bought it. He was always an import buyer, but after looking at and driving my Malibu he said it was at the top of his list to look at.

I am still a little nervous about this. I had thought about and entry level Lexus or Bmw but, I just like the looks of the malibu. It makes it tough when all I ever bought was imports and now that I am at a point in life at which I can spend more on a car it is odd to me and my friends that I am looking at a malibu. I wish they changed the name. hehehe......It is so nice looking to me though.

lexus and BMW even at entry level are a good comparison to the Malibu...its made to compete with the Accord.Camry crowd....if you are looking at the entry ..level autos check out the Cadillac CTS......just bought a 09 fully loaded..and love it.....my first entry into the luxury level auto.....

I keep second guessing myself. The dealer is looking for the right Malibu for me right now. I still keep thinking,,, Maxima, CTS, G-35 or Lexus Is250? I feel the Malibu is the best bang but, not at the same level as the others. But is it? CONFUSED.......

If you are in one of the areas (NJ, NY and possibly Texas and some others) where you can get the Hyundai Sonata gls (20200 msrp) for around 15500 or so go for that, well before the Malibu. Edmunds has the Sonata competitive with the Accord
 
Doesn't mean anything, GM,Ford was just getting it together... they've been falling apart for decades. The transplants are building new factories in the US while the "Domestic" nameplates are hopeless. Many wonder how they survived this long. Management made it work with higher markup Suv's and trucks but thats it.
 
Anything involving the UAW for consumer autos (not heavy equipment) is dead. With the proponderance of autos and styles it is almost a commodity business. There is no business model with the company paying overweight morons in a blue shirt and a golfcart (union stewards) shutting down the production line in numerous pissing contests with management that can survive.
 
By the time productivity is factored in the Domestics pay well over 2x for labor, with the pension problems added in.
 
Gov't support would be permanent. A wealth transfer from the avg worker(s) to the "rich" workers.
 
With tons of cars being made in the US and similar suppliers I don't even know what a "Domestic" car is anymore. (the plastic emblem on the front grille?)
 
Good luck
