Replying to: brucelinc (Mar 26, 2009 5:06 am) I am waiting for new LaCrosse though for final decision what to buy. I want something more exiting style-wise than your typical family sedan.And there is always Mazda6 which more upscale and in general better car than Fusion/Milan. Milan is better looking car than Fusion for sure, but issue with bland and dated interior still remains.

I think the Fusion, Milan, and MKZ are very attractive cars, with not much in the way of visual distinction between them, but very pretty cars nontheless. As for the Malibu, it is simply gorgeous. The previous Malibu was hideous. There is simply no comparion between it and the new car. I think the Malibu could use a nice SS version with the 5.3! Bring the small block back to midsize family cars Chevy! It's time! I think the Malibu is the best looking of the current crop of midsize family sedans. The new Taurus just makes the hottest segment of the market (Mid/fullsize family sedans, all the action is here) even hotter!

Replying to: carfanforever (Mar 27, 2009 3:23 pm) Old Malibu is to new Malibu as old Taurus is to new Taurus. I don't think any of the cars were "hideous" but I think both new models are way way better looking than those they replaced. I haven't been able to say that about cars in a while. |

I have enough examples of VW inteiors looking drab and worn after several years of extensive use and sitting under CA sun.

Some thoughts on my MKS after 1 month and 2000 miles: - LOVE IT - V6 has more than adequate power - Lotta compliments - Have yet to figure out auto-high beam - Two complaints: For us smokers (my bad) console design prohibits use of an ashtray and a cupholder at the same time (dealer says 'power points' will not support use of lighter either.) - For such a large trunk, opening dimensions are ridiculous. You cannot even get a small ice chest inside - Very comfortable, good handling - For those who complain about the 'cheap plastic' on the center console, I purchased ($270) an Ebony wood dash kit from Sherwood Dash and it looks and matches great, I did not use the whole kit, I decided to leave the aluminum finished vents and GPS surround as-is. Over all, very pleased |

Replying to: DRUDDELL (Mar 28, 2009 11:01 am) DRUDDLE, how is your leather holding up? Based on some of the MKSs I have seen, it seems like it wrinkles easily and shows a lot of wear in a short time. Also, are you satisfied with the range of adjustability of the steering wheel? It doesn't go quite low enough or extend quite far enough toward the driver to suit me but I suppose I would get used to it after awhile.

Replying to: DRUDDELL (Mar 28, 2009 11:01 am)  The leather still looks new, but I use conditioner on it. The local L-M dealer had five MKS's, parked in a semi-circle, out front. All different colors, looked pretty cool. I still think they are great looking cars.
