Hi all - just introducing myself and my new ride
it's an 08 Chevy Malibu LS with the V6 option
Coco on Cashmere interior.

I'm happy as could be...thought I'd share.
The Sirius is in already and more on the way
The HID Kit is in the kitchen staring at me - install is this week whatever day is best weather wise and tint will be in a week or so.

I have pix - but I cant post em up yet for some reason

Get up soon though

No rules that I'm aware of as far as when you can post pics, but you must show your car in all of it's naked glory inside and out. I've seen many more new bu's in the wild as of late. They look so much more substantial than their predecessor. Oh and ugh.....welcome to GMI.

I have several pix...but I get this on each upload - Upload of file failed.

They are all on My Cardomain now anyway if anyone wants to see em

This is the interior I have

and this is the grill I am debating over

I thought the LS Malibus were 4-cyl only

Does it have the 3.5 V6?

I, too, thought the LS trim was 4-cylinder-only, and it looks like the mirror caps are body color (maybe it's just the lighting), which isn't something the LS has. Is this a "spring special" sort of car?

 

[MOOSTOPHA]

not aware of a v6 option either for the LS. the wheels look like the 1LT standard wheels. good lookin car though. congrats!!!

 

[Kdawg207]

it is the LS trim.. with the 3.5 v6
It has to be special ordered as I said.

It's not something you will just come across at the dealership....later on I will pop the hood and take a pic for everyone

 

[BigAls87Z28]

As did I. 2LT is the first model you can get with teh V6. That is unless you got the 3.5?

Ahh...didnt respond fast enough. 3.5 is a fleet only option hrmmm

 

[Titanic]

I still can't believe they're putting the 3.5L in there.

Why did you choose that option, and how'd you get it ordered? Did you have to go through fleet? How much did that option cost?

 

[Kdawg207]

long story - but it's fleet ordered....3.5

here's pix

enjoy

 

[Titanic]

I'm very happy you joined to share this will all of us, as many of us have never seen such a car.

 

[Kdawg207]

thanks i guess - lol - i'm happy to be here

 

[Kdawg207]

I like the mesh E&G grilles...

I've sold those for the several used Chrysler 300's that have come through our store recently...

are they solid and good quality - I'm leaning towards it heavy


and thanks again everyone for the nice congrats

 

[BigAls87Z28]

They are only putting it in for fleet use, and as we found out, thats how he orderd it. IMO, the 3.5 is a heck of an engine. I enjoyed it in my Maxx, and Its pleny of power for every day for those that dont want a 4cyl.
But between a 2.4/6spd auto vs a 3.5/4spd auto...I think Id take the 2.4/6

Welcome to GMI fellow and welcome another Jersey member! Beautiful car either way!! One thing GM did right is that the car looks good in any trim level, not just in LTZ. Problem in the past is that a base model had cheap plastic parts that destroys the look of the car. This car looks good at all angles.
Congrats again!!

 

[Kdawg207]

thanks


and i agree.... this 3.5 has plenty of get up and move for anyone. Certainly enough to get ya in some trouble lol

 

[Kdawg207]

They aren't cheap, but seem to be OK in quality!

ok cool....i found the 3 grill set online for 170 shipped - so I think i'm gonna do it
