Re: GM's woes don't carry down to this Malibu

I still think that most of GM's woes of slumping sales are of old and outdated product.
What new car isnt selling at or above previous levels?
The interior of the car is actualy very high quality, just has a very bland and drab appearance. The SS's upgrades of almost EXACTLY what I wanted changed in my Malibu Maxx is all it really needs. I would like to see a black and grey interior, as well as black and tan. A 5spd option would be nice, but I think that just using the 6spd from the GTP would be more then fine. Or even getting the 6spd autos with the electronic shift would suffice for 90% of the drivers out there. Anyone else who wants a real sporty car is probably gunna and probably should shop at Pontiac.

As for the article, I deffinatly agree with almost everything except its handling. While the car shows good handling, I dont think it offers enough. Take that with a grain of salt because I really take this thing into the corners and put this chassis through the ringer. I think that the Maxx SS is what I need.
