Replying to: 62vetteefp (Jan 28, 2009 7:46 am) It was also all-new for 2008. Are very many of the new Malibus going into rental fleets and such, or do they still keeping the old model around, calling it "Classic", and using that for those purposes?

Replying to: m4d_cow (Jan 28, 2009 8:31 am) Well, it was too cramped for me, unless I sat with my legs splayed out. But I'm also 6'3", and when I try out a back seat, I keep the front seat at a point where I'd be comfortable, which is usually all the way back. FWIW, I find the Impala to be worse than the Malibu. Not only is the back seat cramped for legroom, but I have to slouch, or my head hits the ceiling!

Replying to: andre1969 (Jan 28, 2009 4:54 am) I agree with andre1969. The problem is people keep referring to numbers and forget the real essentials, such as: 1) The actual shape of the room. 2) Where the seats are positioned inside that room. Numbers are, well, no more than numbers.

Replying to: m4d_cow (Jan 28, 2009 8:40 am) I'm a good 10" shorter than Andre so for the most part rear legroom is just a theoretical exercise for me. My biggest question in if when the front seats are set for my wife, who has longer legs than I do, can I still fit a guitar in the back without having to move things around. almost any car can do that. It's a bit tricky in my Celica but no one ever bought one of those for the room. |

Replying to: andre1969 (Jan 28, 2009 8:33 am) link title According to GM, they sold 178,253 Malibus in 2008, so roughly 118k went to retail. It also won the 2009 Fleet COY" link title Oh and by comparison, GM sold 203,503 Malibus in 2005

link title Basel hinted that GM could use an existing structure to produce the 1.4L four-cylinder earmarked for use in the Chevy Cruze and Volt. However, GM gave no time table for the project, which could put both vehicles’ scheduled launch dates in jeopardy. |

Replying to: andre1969 (Jan 28, 2009 8:40 am) That explains many things, I'm 5'8 so we're on totally different expectations here  . Alas, extra size goes totally wasted on the Impala then. I never tried the Impala's backseat, only the front during a test drive. I was quickly unimpressed and left the car immediately without trying the backseat.
