Malibu was held back to go onto a better chassis and held only 1 year. I see no problem with that.

That is.........perplexing to say the least.... unless they have a whole new TrailBlazer replacement that is better and that is why.

Obviously, they can't abandon THIS segment. So...... there's gotta be some kind of plan for a replacement...???

I think they're hoping the crossovers pull down where the GMT360's were.

I wonder what will happen to the Moraine (sp?), OH plant?

The midsize SUV segment is shrinking. And the Chevy Lambda will cover alot of those bases. I guess GM figured it's better to keep the current TB with some future minor refreshing, and spend the saved money on better things...like our ponycar.
