Any word on if HLA might make it into the new F150?

No, I didn't miss it. I saw that one too.

I just didn't comment on it. Two in a row is rare, I didn't know which one to pick.

Yes, of course that was the reason you responded to only my post. Do you know how to use the multi-quote function?

You have no clue at all. Of course I guess your avatar says it all.

Do yourself a favor and go sit in a Malibu before blabbing about something you know nothing about.

Thanks for telling him straight. He has know idea what he's talking about. If the new Chevy Malibu was a cheap piece of trash, then it wouldn't be selling like HOT CAKES. It's selling so well that GM can't keep up with demand. Overall, the Malibu puts its competitors to shame inside and out. I glad you put it straight to him because I was about to BLAST him.

Care to produce those "HOT CAKES" Malibu sales figures?

I agree with you that TiburonJT does usually know ideas (often good ideas) and also usually knows what he's talking about.

I thought my post was obviously facetious. I intended, through that post, to point out to the quoted member that past interior quality is not necessarily an accurate indicator of future interior quality. Hopefully the quoted posts above will help you understand my point.

I hope so. I haven't heard any news recently about the HLA. Where's igor when ya need him?

[SnapOversteer]

The interior is too busy for me. Buttons galore. Overall, it's an okay refresh.

I like it, nice update. It is going to be a battle between this and the Ram as they both brought their A game.

What's the matter, you can't understand what I was trying to say about the sales of the new Chevy Malibu? Yes, the new Malibu is selling extremely well for GM. You can basically say that the car just went on sale due to fact that it's been on the market for lets see, about 2 and a half months and due to the fact that it's selling so well, GM can't keep up with demand. GM will most likely, increase production output so they can keep up with demand for the new Malibu. By the way, I shouldn't have to produce any "HOT CAKE" sales figures for you anyway. Are you to stuck up to not accept the simple truth that the new Malibu is selling very well? The proof of that has been posted a few times on the Live Ticker as well as mentioned in quite a few threads.

Why are you such a rabid fanboy? Also, you aren't funny.

i thought a while back it was decided that gm786 was mentally disabled, I dont know if it was short bus window licking slow but still disabled, not trying to get a laugh or anything but after his mkz interior quote I thought it was pretty much declared. Dont make fun of the retarded kid, hes just having some fun, albeit annoying but still.

I really like the looks of the one in that blue, it has a much more laid back grill, plus the color is really nice.

To me, maybe because I am more a true truck fan than a truck being used a the family grocery getter, I prefer the 1992-1996 Ford's and the mid 90's GMC/Chevy's as well. These 'modern' generation trucks with their so called "upscale" interiors are over kill to me. While I won't ever say I don't like a vast majority of options for these trucks, I still do prefer the old box styling.

This is all so subjective, that I don't think that any one truck wether it be a Ford, Dodge or GM/Chevy has so much an upper hand in both the exterior and interior styling that it will be dominant in sales based on that alone.

So, take your pick, is how I see it.

Fanboy right? I'm not being a fanboy, I'm just trying to get a few points across. The new Ford F-150 is an ugly truck inside and out in my opinion but others will obviously have different views and I accept that, but I believe that Ford totally went in the wrong direction with the interior of the new F-150. The center IP looks cheap, clunky, and cluttered. The new Dodge Ram is the better looking truck inside and out although I do have my long list of cons for the Ram as I do for the F-150. I have to say that GM's full size pickups have nothing to worry about in terms of design and engineering, except for needing slight powertrain updates such as adding the 6-speed trans. As I stated previously, I'm not being a fanboy in anyway but what I do have at times is heavy bias for GM and their vehicles. That's just me. And by the way, I'm not trying to be funny either.

I agree with you, the 92-96 Fords and 95-98 Chevys are my favorites.
