I want to like this car, but i cant get past the front and rear. I am sure quality wise its great, but the front and rear just isnt for me.

Ditto for me. Just can't find something to like with the styling, but I'm pleased that so many people seem to like it. It's certainly a huge step forward from the current car.

Admittedly this is a poor rendition, and my opinion typically differs from the 'gang' out here, but I think the '08 Malibu grille is all wrong. There are too many grille segments, and the upper segment starts too high on the front.

Also, it seems that GM gets all confused with what to do with the horizontal Chevy 'bar' in the grille, even with the new HHR SS.

Should be a single grille, lower on the fascia.
