I meant Automobile magazine's 10 Allstars of 2008. Accord is a big car with same if not better mpg than Malibu and it is what American public want exactly. That's to be seen. Regarding Camry taking lead in MT test - it is a sham. Just take camry away - and malibu becomes #1. MT simply cannot acknowledge mistake they made by choosing Camry 2006 COTY. They are trying to justify their mistake but saying that "Oh camry is sooo goood...". LOL, What, Camry?? What they are smoking. No- these cars racked fair and square. Camry '07 coty? Also fair game. Seems someone is a bit biased toward Honda (actually hugely biased). What are they smoking? I don't know "Save the Land". And Tundra lost TOTY last year to the good 'ole American Chevy Silverado. I realize that you think the Accord is a very respectable sedan, but it is incorrect to think that it is superior to any other marque. It is no better than the Malibu- or Camry for that matter. They are all competitors, and now that GM has stepped it's game up, the playing feild is level. |

Replying to: dodgeman07 (Jan 05, 2008 9:53 pm) I listed a whole slew of cars (I think on this thread). The EPA lists the Malibu as 95 cubic feet, smaller than an Elantra. I own an Optima (not exactly the largest) it's listed at 104 cubic feet. My other car (a Malibu Maxx is 106), on the large side but only a foot bigger than a Sonata (or Accord). So maybe 10 is stretching it but at least eight would be a conservative estimate. In the new 'Bu's defense, since most of the lost space is headroom and the Optima has tons of headroom the actual usable lost space isn't that much. Who cares if you have four inches or two inches over the top of your head? However, the last gen. Malibu (even the non-Maxx) with its smaller tumblehome was exceptionally ugly but exceptionally spacious. The new Malibu has exchanged (mostly backseat) space for style. If you don't have people in the back it doesn't make much difference.

I took my 2007 Malibu LS in today for the 12000 mile service. I still have not had any problems or complaints with the car. Gas mileage remains over 32 MPG. While waiting I went in the showroom to look at the 2008 Malibu. I think it is a nice car, but the rear seat area was much smaller than my 2007. The model in the showroom was a loaded LTZ, the sticker price was over $28000. The LS model goes for over $19000 I was told. I baught my 2007 LS in June and with incentives paid a little over $15000. The main reason I bought the 2007 was price, fuel economy and interior room, so with the price increase, less interior space and I believe less MPG, I consider the 07 to be a better value and a more appropriate car for me.
