Dude . . . . . how can we get back on topic -- perhaps you didn't understand his post . . . He jumped his GM and it literally had sparks flying from underneath it . . . he threw it into reverse at highway speeds. . . . .he took it "rallying." Now, I'm not saying we don't all rally and jump from time to time, but he openly admitted to having taken the spark plug wires off for a week at a time [apparently torturing the engine in a sadistic display of unburnt gasoline and increased toxic emissions]. I can understand the suspension and transmission hanging in there, but how did the catalytic converter ever make it?
 
Anyone want to buy an 08 Accord . . I'm gett'n me one of them GM's outfits!

Just remember not everything one prints on the internet is true, even though my car gets 37 miles to the gallon when driving 120 miles per hour and has machine guns built-in to the front tag-bracket.
 
Oh yeah, it doesn't have to have gasoline to run. It gets excellent mileage on Arby's Jamocha Shakes as well.

.30 in the front, .50 in the back (the bad guys are usually chasing me so I want the big ones in the back) .
 
On a more serious note, I haven't seen the EPA results for the Malibu yet. What are they in comparison with the Accord's 21/31 and 19/29.

Per fueleconomy.gov EPA ratings are as follows:
22/30 4 cylinder
18/29 6 cylinder (4 speed)
17/26 6 cylinder (6 speed) Odd how this gets lower MPG's than the 4 speed.

Does anyone know the following:
Is the Chevy Malibu LT1 or LT2 comparable to the Honda Accord LX-P automatic? Also, what is the difference between the LT1 and LT2? Thanks.

The LT1 Malibu is VERY much like an Accord LX-P.
 
The 2.4L 4-cyl and 4-speed only, cloth seats, 17" chrome wheels, extra small chrome and painted touches outside, power features, and steering wheel audio controls. Then from there, you can option to add a convenience package (remote start, power pedals, and power driver's seat) and a power sunroof.
 
The LT2 builds from there, starting with the same 2.4L 4-cylinder, but remote start, homelink, dimming mirror, dual lighted visors, power pedals, power driver's seat, leather/suede upholstery, and heated front seats are all standard. Optional from there is an upgraded audio system, sunroof, rear 120V power outlet & rear window shade, AND also the 3.6L V6 package upgrade which includes 18" wheels and a couple of other small things. The LT2 is very comparable to an Accord EX-L.
 
The basic difference between an LT1 and an LT2 is more standards, the upholstery, and some features on the LT2 not available on the LT1--plus being able to get the V6 option. Leather/suede, upgraded audio, leather steering wheel/shifter, etc. are the main differences between the 2 levels.
 
Malibu LT1 = Accord LX-P
Malibu LT2 = Accord EX-L and also EX-L V6
