2009 Chevrolet Malibu
This is the latest Malibu from Chevrolet, proof that some people are still buying cars. In fact, sales have exceeded expectations. The current Malibu sold more than 50% more units last year than in 2007, and increased GM's midsize market share to 8.4% from 5.7%. Meanwhile, the Camry and Accord percentages remained flat at about 21% and 17.5%, respectively.
Despite those impressive statistics, Chevrolet still has a way to go to catch up with the Japanese juggernauts, and GM's current state of impotence is no help.
Developed with more of a driver's car in mind - does the name Opel ring a bell? - the Malibu features a choice between a 2.4-liter inline four and a 3.6-liter V6. A hybrid version of the inline four is also available.
