GM Inside News Forum - View Single Post - Review: Malibu Maxx offers Chevy concept of 'blue-collar tech'

My problem with most GM cars like the malibu is not with the engine. I honestly can't tell much of a difference between an Accord's 2.4 or 3.0, a Camry's 3.3 or the GM 3.5.

For me the bigger issue GM has is still transmissions and the lack of technology there (no 5 or 6 speed automatics in mainstream cars).

I'd also complain that GM's vehicles are starting to get a little "hefty" in the curb weight department, but that is also happening with the imports.
