..Dec '06 issue offers spy shot of '08 Malibu and claims Maxx won't be part of the new crop of Malibu sedans.   The Maxx platform lives on in the new sedan as well as the Saturn Aura and G6, minus the hatch and with trunk in place.   A pity most Americans just don't "get" hatches.

Replying to: kurtamaxxxguy (Nov 09, 2006 9:49 pm) ...and I won't buy that new crop either. I'll just keep hoping that after my Maxx dies in 7 years that I'll be able to buy a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle from Honda or Toyota that does everything my Maxx currently does.

Actually a CUV is slightly shorter than SUV and a Wagon/hatch is slightly shorter than CUV, and all three share the same 2-box type design with 5 doors.   But people dont know about this and they hate the words Wagon/hatch.   The best thing for GM is to create a Maxx which is an inch taller and call it a CUV (just like Chevy HHR) and it will sell well.   Its a very useful vehicle. They priced it 2K above Malibu and people thought thats expensive. Thats why Maxx did not sell.
#55 of 70 It didn't sell because GM did nothing to market it.... by csandste Nov 11, 2006 (7:26 pm)
other than the fornicating suv/car offspring ad when it first came out, I saw absolutely nothing. I've had people with 'Bu sedans come up to me on parking lots and ask how I happened to get one. No effort with GM or dealers to even tell anyone about it.

...as the Saab 9-3 Aero, which is like the maxx but with a different shape rear hatch and interior trim. Unfortunately, the 9-3 series is one of the most unreliable brands out there. Replies to this message: csandste (Nov 12, 2006 12:57 pm)

The 9-3 hasn't been a hatchback in years - unless you consider the new Sportscombi - a wagonish sort of thing. You're right - Americans just don't get wagons and hatchbacks, and it's a shame because they are so versatile. Perhaps someday, but then again, I doubt it... By the way, have you seen pictures of the new Volvo C30 - the next generation hatchback - a little small but very cute! Replies to this message: kurtamaxxxguy (Dec 15, 2006 11:53 am)

Replying to: oldntired1950 (Dec 14, 2006 9:17 pm) The only major body difference I could find between Sport Combi and the Maxx is the shape of the hatch. The Maxx has a small "trunklette" while the Combi is smooth (like a wagon). I have no idea how the Sport Combi is doing in sales...I've never seen one on the roads here in S. Calif (and rarely see Maxxes). It also has electronic stability control missing on the '07 Malibus.   But lack of dealer network and reliability'll keep me away from the Combi.
