Replying to: rockylee (Feb 16, 2007 1:41 pm) Well given the pricing, the Impala SS is actually a sweeter buy for a performance oriented buyer. When it comes to muscle V8s sedans, leave it to Detroit!   And the Impala already sells better than the Malibu at the moment too.

Replying to: jeffyscott (Feb 16, 2007 12:33 pm) You are correct, my bad. However, according to the Lincoln website the FWD MKZ is rated 19/27, the AWD model is what's rated 18/26. Still lower, but not so bad. Replies to this message: jeffyscott (Feb 16, 2007 4:36 pm)

Replying to: tlong (Feb 15, 2007 9:58 pm) GM should examine the Accord, the Camry -- and then build a better car in every way!.   If GM could build such a car, don't you think they would have? Honda and Toyota have patents on their designs, so outright copying them can't happen. GM doesn't have the engineering or technology to build a car as good, much less better than Accord/Camry.

Replying to: neteng101 (Feb 16, 2007 2:57 pm) The Impala as we know it will be buh bye by 2009 because it's going to be replaced by a much bigger RWD Sedan with GM's 3.6 V6, 5.3 LS-4 V8, and 6.2 VVT V8 in the SS model.   Rocky Replies to this message: goodegg (Feb 16, 2007 3:56 pm)

It's not that they can't do it but they need to make a profit.   So you don't think this "perfect car" would sell? Believe me, if they could make this car, they would.

Big engines with lousy fuel economy. I guess they'll never learn.   Watch for Honda to go the other way. Diesels, hybrids, hydrogen etc. I know which company I'd bet on.

Replying to: rockylee (Feb 16, 2007 12:39 pm) I'll respectfully have to disagree with ya rock. 08 Malibu is definately a step up from its predecessors but the 08 Accord will be out too.....
