Both LTZ and 2LT have moonroof and both are v6 6 speed automatic engine.
 
Difference:
 
LTZ has leather seating and 2LT has leatherette seating
 
LTZ has power front passenger seats and 2LT only has driver power seats
 
LTZ probably has premium sound system compared to 2LT
 
2009 2LT has bluetooth and 2008 LTZ doesnt have bluetooth
 
2008 LTZ is metallic red (may need to change it)
 
2009 2LT has metallic silver moss green ( i like that one)
 
so whats the verdict? what should i buy?
 
2008 LTZ is 21.5k and 2009 2LT is 20.7k.

My decision came down to, I liked the suede seats over the leather in the LTZ. And being heated they are really easy to get into in the winter.
 
The Bluetooth would have been nice(not offered on the '08's), but I don't make that many calls from the road.
 
I do like the LTZ V-6's wheels better. I see they offer them now on the 4 cylinder LTZ for '09, smart move by Chevy.
 
Either way, those prices look terrific. Good luck on which ever one you decide on.

Yes, tough choices but you will be happy with either. I went with the 2LT mostly because of the interior. I preferred the suede seats and the color choices of the 2LT. Comes down to personal preference.
The 2009 may be a better buy when you consider future value, since it is really a year newer in the eyes of appraisers.

Fleet sales Malibu's Saviour? by bwia

According to a Wikepedia entry, "Out of 19,725 Malibus sold in September 2008, 10,462 or 53%, were sold to fleets."
If that is true then prospective buyers should be getting even better deals than those posted here. Nonetheless, such a sales mix will have a significantly negative impact on resale value down the road.

I think the Malibu will be ok. It could just be a blip and even if fleet sales are going higher the car is well made and rated which counts for a lot.
 
Camry fleet sales are also higher, I see a whole line of 4 banger base models at one of the local rental lots.

I picked up the car last night and so far I am very happy, however, I find that the glove box does not have a light when opened? Can this be done aftermarket?
