Maxx is dead.....long live the Maxx. by 07maxx

This is not too surprising if you have listened to any of the interviews with the troglodyte who currently "leads" GM. Talk about a throw-back. He is right out of the 1950s with his thinking on business, government and social issues for our country.
 
Great automobile that fits my needs very well. But, doesn't have the margins of the SUV/truck vehicles, so that is one reason it was/is not strongly supported. Everyone of us who buys a Maxx is a potential buyer of an SUV/truck with a much higher margin for GM. Thus, little or no marketing and it has to go. Too sad.

07maxx: if you gave me an SUV, I'd push it into the river. I love the maxx because it IS the anti-SUV. Like you, I plan on keeping my maxx until the bolts rust off of it. If the US insists on keeping hatchbacks and wagons on the shelf because they compete with their precious SUV profits, I'll go back to Japan. Heck, I'd even go to Japan, buy a Honda Accord wagon (which is still made there), and pay to upgrade the emissions so I could ship it over here. I guess I'd have to learn how to drive a right side steering vehicle, though, eh?

as a SAAB sport combi.
In fact, the Saab sport combi will get the latest Haldex AWD (superior to VW or Audi) and a 300 HP high tech engine in a year or so.
I had hoped the Maxx would get AWD, but no such luck.
 
...and if GM really thinks I'm going to buy an SUV because the Maxx isn't available; sorry, Bob L., but no sale.

I'm very happy with my Maxx. I have very little GM loyalty, not a hater-- would buy another if it suited me. Right now, an SUV or typical crossover wouldn't interest me. Maybe the new Saturn, don't know...
 
I've had good luck with Hyundais and Kias. If the Maxx died an I wanted a new car I might look at a Rondo or the new Hyundai i30 which will probably be brought in as an Elantra (don't like the new Elantra sedan although I liked my 01)-- anyway I have little if any brand loyalty. The car's got to grab me...
