The Japanese and Koreans might want to take note of what GM has done here: they've taken successful cues from successful cars and combined them in their own work. But the difference is that the Malibu is no impersonator. It doesn't come across as a gaudy charicature. Instead, it may very well be the most successful melding of "the right stuff" in it's corner of the family hauler segment in years.

I personally don't like it but it is a$$loads better than the previous Malibu. This one you wouldn't be embarrassed to be seen in at least.

He got mad because I kept posting "mudkips" in the Word Association Game, now he follows me around bitching and ruining threads before I get the chance to do it.

lmao is that what you're doing? you really suck at it.

All you're accomplishing is ruining this thread, and I like DOOM... I make it a secret goal to never ruin his threads....... I am failing it.

You're never going to hurt my feelings, especially not as bad as yours have obviously been rofl

Well you need to wait a little longer and learn a little more before you start trying to talk **** if you want to be taken serious at all. Otherwise it's the 150 spelling mistakes ruin your post and actually make it funny as hell.

EDIT: DOOM, I'm sorry. I'm really really done now for really really

I'm saying that GM actually made an attractive, unique looking car with that strategy, something none of those other copycat-only companies has managed to date. All the Lexuses, Kias, Hyundais, and Daewoos out there that have stolen Mercedes Benz and Jaguar styling look like crap. They look like bad imitations, wannabes. The Malibu has managed to take cues from nicer cars and do it's own thing instead of looking like some cheap knockoff.
