Hi All:
___Although not really news worthy, I think GM is finally considering making the interiors of their std. sedans more livable. We rented an 06 Malibu out Oakland, CA. earlier this year and it was about the cheapest POS I have ever sat in. Maybe GM picked up on the average consumers disgust and decided to mimic an Acura/Honda interior for their future sedans instead?
___Here is the 08 Malibu interior.

___I cannot say much about the drivetrain other then without Dual-Mode and the engine/drivetrain workups (DoD, Atkinson intakes, tall 6-speed autos) it is not worth even looking at. BAS for the price is worthless and a waste of all our hard earned $’s. BAS is apparently scheduled for the Malibu in the not to distant future unfortunately …
___Good Luck
