The Maxx was a great idea. ACtually very innovative, but they went and saddled it with the who-cares-what-a-car-looks-like? styling of the last Malibu.

If they still had a Maxx, it'd be sold out huge right now.

I bet it wouldn't be terribly expensive to develop a new one . . . they've already got the stretched chassis, and all the specialized parts were developed for the Maxx. So all they'd need now would be to engineer new exterior sheet metal (because I bet the structural bits from the last one could be easily adapted) for the hatch and hind end, and the needed interior bits. Not a big deal, guys. And you'd have something ideally suited for the current market.
