Replying to: coasterguy (Nov 23, 2008 6:25 pm) 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 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....... | |

Replying to: coasterguy (Nov 26, 2008 7:35 pm) 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 --jjf

Replying to: coasterguy (Nov 26, 2008 7:35 pm) again you say the best bang ....but what are you looking for...transportation, luxury sedan, family car....good on MPG...etc.....I went for the CTS because I was in a position to move up to a luxury level.....GM had employee pricing at the time....which compare to the redtag sale ongoing..saved me an addition 7K....price difference on the CTS.....my MPG is around 24-25 on average....as much as 30 MPG on the highway and the features are well beyond the malibu....G35 was the same price range...was smaller and go less gas mileage and different offer the same features.....maxima slightly less..but still pushing high 30sk for price....plus the maxima lines didnt appeal to me.... would I have been happy with the new malibu...probably......but I wanted to step up in comfort, features and looks,,and simply because I was now in a position in life to afford the CTS ........again..personal choice |

Hi, I'm new here. Great site!! I am looking at a 2009 Malibu LTZ, black metallic, 4cyl, 6 speed, ebony/brick int, sunroof, etc (fully loaded) After some rebates and GM employee pricing they offered $22,524 (not including tax). What do you think? Sound good or not? Just thought I would ask the experts.
