Okay, I am going to defend Chevy for the first time since 1974. When they started making crap.
The Malibu was maybe the best vehicle they made. It was rated very highly by Consumer Reports. So, what do they do. Stop making it.
The problem is they probably do not make much on this automobile.
The only other Chevy i would ever consider buying today was the rear engine Corvette.
I have had three Toyota Tacomas and a Lexus SC400. Prior to that a couple Volvo 240DLs. My wife has been all Hondas.
I agree I liked them
Rented a half dozen and found them plush and quick and solid and much cheaper than oriental or euro lux cars
