Agree the last good design for the Malibu was 1966 to 1969 much like any other manufacture.
Anything past 1070 are only good for chicken coops.
I would guess all the fans posting are talking about older GM stuff, not the junk I see from rental fleets.
I really laugh at seeing the name Malibu on the rentals, remembering what righteous cars they were decades ago. Now they are crappy little econoboxes.
