I hate the fact that everything chevy is making is looks the same with that bar across the front. Here is my addition to the upcoming GM lineup C6 Vette (pardon the cheezy photoshoping)

I'll just quote myself from a previous thread:

This (new) car looks nothing like those, as far as I can tell. The front end has been muted out, totally stupified.. What the hell is this about? Go back to the concept. We already have enough DULL Impalas in the fleets.. now we need the public to be energized into buying the (Malibu), and this one is NOT it. How about some simple, clean curves based on simple math? Do some research on the golden ratio and how it subliminally appeals to humans even without their knowledge. BACK to the drawing board, idjets.

Somewhere between this:

and this:

http://www.autonews.com/files/2003_d...bu/Malibu1.jpg

, something went wrong. The two look about 99% identical, but for some reason, I'd buy the blue one; I wouldn't buy the grey one. It looks like some blood-hungry insect on the front.

I like it. I like that it looks like a mini-impala too, the impala has really grown on me, i think they are nice looking cars.

ROTFL at you guys!!

I gotta agree with you all, and Chevy needs new designers, right now. This bar they want to put on all these cars has to go. I am really starting to think that B.L. won't be and isn't what we expected, car guy or not.

I guess the good designers are going to Pontiac (Solstice, G6) and Cadillac. Chebby gets to be the sacrificial goat.

GM INTERIOR DESIGNERS:
Remove the FISHER PRICE STEERING WHEEL and the STAR TREK CENTER VENTS and the interior will look OK. Do NOT sell this the way it is.

This car is again the typical GM rental car . But the interior is ok, it looks quality, I hope it feels the same.

I have to say It's not what I was hoping for.

The elderly will love this car though. I can't wait to see these things file out of the bingo parking lots.

Question Malibu

Man some of u guys are BRUTAL. I think the sketch looks awsome, I have seen it before though. I can't comment on the actual car, as I can't seem to open any of the links, they keep saying file not found, or something. POS computer

Thumbs down

Many of Chevy's cars are going for the bland, POS market the last couple years....
