Anyone have this model? It was only built for a short while but basically you get the engine for free ($850 discount) so you end up with a 24k 1LT MSRP. still working the final price due to all the incentive soup...

Don't know what happened but suddenly I have been seeing a lot of Malibu's on the roads around Boston. Is this only a Boston phenomenon or is it a national trend? To increase sales further, GM should introduce more and bolder colors. At prsent there are too many grey and neutral colors make the Malibu look too generic and anonymous. Ours is the imperial blue with the cocoa/cashere Katzkin (after market) leather interior which is very nice indeed. By the way our 2008 is doing fine, no problems so far...no squeaks, leaks, rattles, thumps or broken switches and dials. Great car! |

I see more in the last month than I had seen all winter also. That said, I started a new job and I drive a bit more / farther now also so maybe it's an illusion. That said, it was nice driving mine when there were very few around. I got lots of stares and second looks which I loved. Malibus are very nice compared with the sea of dull Camrys on the roads. I am just over 6 months now. No issues aside from some overheating when my rad got iced over after driving through a storm in the winter. Not the car's fault obviously. |

"By the way our 2008 is doing fine, no problems so far...no squeaks, leaks, rattles, thumps or broken switches and dials. Great car!" Great to hear this...if only GM did this 10 years ago and did it across the entire vehicle lineup, maybe they wouldn't be in the straits they are today... Chapter 11, here we come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My brother in law just pulled the trigger tonight on a 2009 Malibu LTZ base with a moonroof and upgrade stereo. He was looking at the Camry, Altima and 2010 Fusion. He took my LT2 V6 for a couple of drives and I think it sold him along with the looks. Now that summer is coming I am jealous of his sunroof.

Replying to: marsha7 (Apr 19, 2009 6:10 pm) I never could understand why some people would be happy that people may be losing their jobs. I am at 11K miles and my 2008 is doing great ! I am glad we are back to Sunroof season too. The heated seats got me thru the winter, but an open sunroof makes the daily commute so much more enjoyable. |

Malibu was 3rd on my list, after Genesis and G8, to replace my 2001 Impala. I'm 6'3"  310lbs, 55" through the shoulders, 50" in waist. Just got back from Orlando for 5 day vacation, rented a 08 Malibu, and hated it. Good looking car, and it drove fine, but everytime I got in I caught my left, rear thigh on the point that results from the continuation of the driver's door arm rest when the door is open. After 1st day, I looked at door frame and figured out the problem, and with that knowledge was able to gently work my hips past the point, but still gently brushed the still sore area on the point. By day 5 I was cursing the car. Too bad.
