Imagine that...go on Edmunds and end up finding someone not only from the area but who bought from the same place   As said, when you get the V6 option on the 2LT, you get these 18" wheels. Otherwise, 2LT's with the 4-cyl have the 17" wheels with thinner spokes and a polished with gray coloring--love those wheels, too. Our Dark Gray 2LT 4-cyl has those.   vanman1 - Oh, of course. The 3.6L is SO much more an impressive piece. My 3.5L has great power and is smooth, but only as much as a less sophisticated pushrod V6 can be. I originally loved the 3.6L on a G6 test drive and wished I could have opted for it, but am even more so glad I can now. So creamy smooth but with unbelievable power, and still economy, at the same time.   Some day over the rainbow I shall have it, if GM can get together the proper paperwork and get it to the dealer sooner rather than later. They didn't disappoint me with my lemon situation, so hoping for a similar--and quick--close to it all.

Chevy must be on the right track if one of their mainstream cars can equal their flagship in on one of their upscale brands.   Here are 17" wheels that I have on my 4 cyl. 2LT.   Replies to this message: vanman1 (Oct 03, 2008 4:01 am) bryan (Oct 06, 2008 8:18 am)

Replying to: guss (Oct 03, 2008 3:48 am) Funny enough, I just sold my 2000 Olds Intrigue and moved to this Malibu.   I never thought I would ever buy a Bu after driving an Olds but this new generation car is far more luxurious inside than my Intrigue and is pretty close in size surprisingly.
#1088 of 1285 3 car seats by budi Oct 03, 2008 (6:27 am)
I need to buy a third car for my nanny to drive. I have 3 kids in car seats and was wondering if the Malibu has room to fit 3 front facing seats.

Replying to: budi (Oct 03, 2008 6:27 am) Though a fantastic car, I wouldn't put the Malibu up to multiple car seat hauling duty. Between the shape that squeezes door openings to the narrower size in general, I would not make that recommendation.   If you're sticking to the general price range but want larger, maybe an Impala (bigger, but still not exactly a huge backseat), maybe Taurus/Sable (very open), or some others you could find.   The Malibu is the best to drive and look at, but not for car seat hauling.
