If you read the press release about the 2008 Malibu I believe it states there will at least three or four different color combinations for the interior including the one shown. You will have more options than just grey.

GM has released a front end pic of the Malibu. There is another full view pic on various sites like leftlanenews.com. Looks very good, kind of like a smaller Lucerne but more aggressive.

At least it "looks" better than the current Malibu appearance-wise.

GM has a good theme going here. Maybe the next gen Pontiac G6 will draw some of Aura & '08 Malibu styling cues. I'm really looking forward to seeing the new Malibu in person.

I wonder what are the chances that stability control will be available as an option the first year and if it will have any unique features for the class available such as heated washer fluid?
Even Bluetooth. Bluetooth costs have dropped low enough that it isn't only for high-end cars anymore. Even the new Nissan Sentra has it available. GM and Ford do seem very slow to adopt Bluetooth in any of their vehicles though, so I won't expect it.

GM probably will not add bluetooth as long as they have Onstar......the cell system with On Star is now compatible with the verizon network.....and you can simply share your minutes with your verizon phone and the OnStar line together

The new photos from the front looks like the G35 ,especial how the hood curves in the front,no sharp corners. Sweet look GM ,please have stability control as an option.

What if you don't have a Verizon phone? The beauty of Bluetooth is that it is network independent. Any Bluetooth equipped phone can work with any Bluetooth equipped car.
 
If GM does not offer Bluetooth it simply shows how shortsighted and misguided they really are. I bet GM's affiliation with OnStar will also prevent the Malibu from being offered with a built-in satellite navigation system that is optional on most of the competitors, instead relying on a "turn-by-turn" mapless voice guidance system that OnStar is now promoting.

I know. Quite frankly, I'm shocked that the Silverado/Sierra pickup trucks can be ordered with a built in navigation system.
 
My concern is that GM will prevent this technology from trickling down to their bread-and-butter passenger car offerings. You can get satellite navigation in a Honda Civic and Mazda3, but not in a Chevy Cobalt. Satnav is available in the Accord, Camry, Altima, and Mazda6, but not yet in the Malibu. I'm hoping GM will change this, but I highly doubt it.
