An American Homerun!

by J.W. Burns from Athens, Alabama (7/11/08)
Pros:Good mileage, comfort , looks, and value!
Cons:Wish it had a little more power, but I know mileage would suffer.

Chevy needs more cars like the Malibu. Great looking car, good comfort, good mileage, acceptable performance. Overall a very good value, especially when considering the price and warranty.

Don't buy a Malibu, buy a Taurus

by Greg from Illinois (7/03/08)
Pros:Gas mileage
Cons:No horsepower

This pretencious automobile is yet another 'yawn' attempt by Chevrolet to to give us the same old boring Chevy product. Why do all the Chevy vehicles look the same on the inside? It's very borish to drive, the ride is terrible, there is NO pickup in the engine, the only thing this car has going for it is the mileage....

If you want a good vehicle, get a a 270 hp Ford Taurus that gets 28 mpg and has plenty of get up and go.... The Taurus is far far better than the Malibu in all areas. Because the Taurus wasn't picked at the top in midsize tells me someone was paid off by GM again. I hate corporate fanagaling. When will GM get a moral conscience?

Not worth it

by Steve from Pensacola FL (6/07/08)
Pros:pretty good on gas
Cons:costs a little much

This car is a hybrid but it only gets about 30 miles per gallon. Thats basically the same as the regular one but since its a hybrid it costs about 4 grand more. If you're thinking about buying a car like this it's pretty much a waste of money. I like american cars and everything but honestly you'd be better off getting a Prius or Civic hybrid if you want to spend about 22000 for a hybrid that gets about 45 mpg.

GM has the job to take the lead in the MPG contest

by Greg from NY (1/13/08)
Pros:It all started as an experiment and it is catching a little notice because of the high fuel cost!
Cons:If making 100 MPG is achieved, then it would really catch fire!

GM has made great strides in the power performance, now it has to make it also to the fuel miser category to compete head on with the likes of small capacity engines with still enjoyable performance. People like to have at least both worlds and if GM could do it, then it will be the car leader for a long time. It is a matter of taking the lead!

Pontiac Aztec should have success as hybrid car!

by Pete from TX (1/11/08)
Pros:The Pontiac Aztec should have been made a hybrid and should be a best seller!
Cons:There was no vision from GM about the Aztec as a hybrid. Another model with look alike has success!

The Pontiac Aztec should have been made a hybrid and what success would have it brought about. Look at the Toyota Prius, it looks like the Pontiac Aztec and people like its styling, even it looks ugly, just because it is a hybrid and it's a Toyota!

Made in the U.S.A. Hybrid and true MPG stated!

by Ken from CA (1/11/08)
Pros:Best American Hybrid around that is made in the U.S., not Elsewhere!
Cons:There are some, but still proud that it is made in the U.S.

There maybe quite a few hybrids sold, but as an American, I am still proud to own one. At least the Chevrolet cars are honest to state the true Fuel Consumption on their cars and not with false advertisement like a few none American cars, including hybrids!

Good Luck Little Sis

by Katie from St. Louis Mo (11/16/07)

If this car is anything like its older siblings (2004 and younger Malibu's) it is a great value and fun to drive with spunk and comfort features not expected in this price bracket. I am so excited that it is nominated! I have an '04 Maxx with 60,000 and have only done oil changes and replaced tires. It is so dependable and practical!

I can not believe that it is a Chevrolet!!

by Brad Sowers from Saint Louis (11/16/07)
Pros:Excellent look and comfort
Cons:none

I can not believe that this is a Chevrolet! It is the most impressive car out there. the outside fit and inside comfort feature. We drove the 4cyl that was so quiet that we were astounded. This car will dominate the mid-market.
