Replying to: bwia (Jul 02, 2008 9:47 am) The percentage changes are from comparable June 2007 sales. A "disaster" for GM? Hardly. Not only have they increased their sales (by 86%) from the previous year, when just about all other midsize sales have dropped (even the coveted Camry dropped 11%), but a much-higher percentage of previous-year sales have been to fleets. To expect the Malibu to match the CamCord numbers on it's FIRST year of a redesign is simply ludicrous, and I'm sure GM has known this from the start. |

Replying to: thegraduate (Jul 02, 2008 11:12 am) and a better but still second rate product - again. The last Malibu was supposed to be the car that 'saves GM' - and it sure did flop. Anybody remember PATCO?

Replying to: thegraduate (Jul 02, 2008 11:12 am) This is the time for GM to really push; it has put out some very good cars out there in the last year or so (Malibu, Aura, Astra etc.) - high fuel prices should benefit all small cars (not that Malibu/Aura are small, but large SUV owners would see that differently). I do see a lot of Nissan Versas, Toyota Yaris and Honda Fits on the road these days. I really think GM should have (Sorry off topic) a parallel Chevy model for the Astra - that seems to be a heck of a good car. |

Replying to: captain2 (Jul 02, 2008 12:14 pm) Based on my limited time with the models, my ranking would be: Altima - Sporty character, right size, great 4-cyl acceleration and economy Accord - Comfortable size, best "drive" of the bunch, but too big and stodgy now for this young man Sonata - Value leader, pleasing ride and economy, but otherwise a yawn Malibu - Easily the most stylish to this young man, decent economy with the 6-speed/4-cyl combo, but lacking room and polish Camry - Do I even have to go there? I fall asleep typing about...ZZZZZZZZZZ
