I see that the Maxx is no longer going to be manufactured after 07. Can anyone tell me why?

ditto, and a pity.
USA makers and buyers just can't get a grip on Hatches; attitude is they are cheap econocars and always inferior to Sedans.
Hatches do well everywhere else but in the USA.
 
As for Audi, am watching it but no plans to move to it yet. Dealer network is weak and the reliability is spotty (not that my '04 Maxx is so great; a lot of problems over two years, but it was a first year car.)

Because in spite of $3 a gallon gas, the idea in this country is still that you should have an SUV if you want versatile carrying capabilities. A hatchback just makes too much sense for most people.

in 2008. Was announced in an article on Edmunds today. The 2008 Malibu redesign will apparently be sedan only.
 
Enjoy 'em while we have 'em, folks.

Wow! I'm definitely going to have to buy another one before that happens. I think it is the rear wiper that sealed its fate

I know sales percentages v. the sedan have been disappointing but Chevy did very little to promote the Maxx in my opinion. There's plenty of tough competition in the sedan catagory including the new Camry, the Sonata/Optima and the Ford triplets. Chevy (along with Mazda) were the only two providers of mid-sized hatches and neither did much to promote their cars---- ah well...

Since mine is only about 11 days old, I'm disappointed to hear that. Came back to GM after reading about their stepping up in quality and safety. One test drive of the Maxx told me that it was true. It's the best new car I've had in years. Well, the change is 3 years away and Malibu is staying in the lineup so perhaps some form of the Maxx will yet remain. Even with the announced change, it's still a great car.

This can't be good for trade-in value. Guess I'll keep mine a while.
