Replying to: deckdog (Nov 02, 2008 9:44 pm) Congrats on the new Malibu!   The new Malibus are among the best of the best cars out there, no one will go wrong buying one. I researched the car extensively and I love my 2LT V6. Not one issue yet.
#1155 of 1299 Malibu stuff by vanman1 Nov 24, 2008 (5:53 pm)
Anyone get any cool accessories or toys for their new Malibu?   So far I got one of these to replace my dealer sticker:   http://cgi.ebay.ca/DALE-EARNHARDT-CHEVROLET-DEALERSHIP-LOGO-EMBLEM-NEW_W0QQitemZ- 270306309538QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMotors_Automotive_Tools?hash=item270306309538&_tr- ksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1215|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318   Looks so nice compared to what I had.

Does anyone know whether the chevy malibu V6 3.6 liter engine will be upgraded or will get the new direct injection 3.6L engine that has debuted in several of its CUV's, CTS and the new Camaro? Thanks. Replies to this message: vanman1 (Nov 30, 2008 8:13 am) beach15 (Nov 30, 2008 2:06 pm)

Replying to: mazda6dude (Nov 30, 2008 2:27 am) It would make for a great SS model!   I haven't heard anything though.

Replying to: mazda6dude (Nov 30, 2008 2:27 am) There was a rumor there would be a new Sport model eventually with the DI 3.6L, but the last I heard of that was long ago and I haven't seen or heard anything at all related recently. Possible, but not overly likely, but we'll see in time.
#1159 of 1299 frozen trunk by vanman1 Dec 07, 2008 (10:19 am)
We had about an inch snow last night and when I tried to open my trunk this morning it was frozen shut. Is this common with the new Malibus? I never really experienced that with my old car barring a more substantial freezing rain or snow fall.   Thanks Replies to this message: packer3 (Dec 17, 2008 2:52 pm) vanman1 (Dec 18, 2008 6:39 pm)
#1160 of 1299 2009 Malibu.....Good or Bad??? by starryknight Dec 08, 2008 (10:22 am)
I just read the model review and the editors rating (with brief review). The editor gives it a 6.9 (adequate). Says the following:   Overall    Average materials, driving charactertistics and bland design prevent the Malibu from receiving a hearty recommendation.   Comfort    Malibu neither offends nor dazzles.   Function    Nothing ground-breaking inside, except the optional DVD screen that emerges from the arm rest.   Design/Build Quality    Monochromatic interior theme has no personality, and the materials have a low-rent look and feel.   The model review say pretty much the opposite. So, which is it Edmunds.....good car or bad???

Replying to: starryknight (Dec 08, 2008 10:22 am) This is not the review of the newly designed Malibu. This is a review of the Malibu Classic/MalibuMaxx. This is an error and should be corrected.
#1162 of 1299 Re: 2009 Malibu.....Good or Bad??? [starryknight] by jerrywimer Dec 09, 2008 (10:41 am)
Replying to: starryknight (Dec 08, 2008 10:22 am) As ddelise said, it's a review of the last gen Malibu Maxx. The "optional DVD screen that emerges from the arm rest" is the giveaway. It's NOT available on the new (sedan-only) car. Not to mention that they now like the materials much better, really like the driving characteristics and design, as well as the general comfort and function. Likewise, the new two-toned interiors have wowwed them, and the build quality has been hailed. Comparing reviews of the last gen car to the new one are about as opposite as night and day.
