Replying to: gdubya2 (Oct 02, 2007 3:44 pm)  GM just went too far with their color choices. How about having two tones (like having the tops of the dash and door panels a dark color to minimize reflections in the glass), but choosing two tasteful colors that do not involve the use of either yellow or orange. It should not have been that hard. Common sense.

I talked to my friend who works at the plant in Fairfax, KS and the 2008 Malibu starts rolling off the assembly line tomorrow. It won't be long until everyone can see it first hand and then make a decision.

I'm actually going to be in Kansas City in a couple of weeks, and had wondered about the possibility of touring the plant...not only because of my interest in the Malibu, but also due to my daughter's interest in engineering as a future career.

Just when I thought Chevy would get back in the game with the Malibu they come out with this!  What are they thinking? Have they done focus groups outside of Detroit? The car is good looking other than the Jetta looking tail lights. The front has the Chevy Silverado grille look which was nicely done. The silouette looks good! But omg who approved those color combos on the interior? The dash is a bit layered too. The instrument panel looks really nice with that royal fade blue lighting on the instruments. We'll see.

Replying to: mackabee (Oct 04, 2007 12:56 pm) I'll see if the "cocoa" LTZ interior looks better in real life than the rendering on the Chevy web site. Otherwise, it will need to be a 2LT if the old 4-speed automatic is livable or else some other vehicle not from Chevrolet. I want better fuel economy than the V6 Malibu offers, so the 2LT V6 with 6-speed automatic is not a consideration. I could also wait for the 2009s. Maybe the 2009 models will either have the 6-speed automatic on the 4 cylinder LTs or else nicer colors on the LTZ. Either of those should be a nice choice if it happens. It's like someone was trying to sabotage their sales when they approved these colors as the only 2 color choices available for the LTZ interior. It looks that bad.
