I saw this on MSN this morning and it may be an advertisement but it is good. The link to the video is a clip with a GM rep talking about the Malibu.

 

I had noticed this in one I looked at but they show the Bowtie in the headlight deflectors. The Bowtie also appears in the tailights and marker lights. No big deal but I thought it was a nice touch.

 

I guess because I am such a big GM fan, I just want to see the car do well for them.

 

Here is the link.Move over Toyota & Honda

Little bit more info. This car is a great car and it looks like the market agrees with me.

 

 

CHICAGO, Feb 6 (Reuters) - The head of General Motors Corp's (GM.N: Quote, Profile, Research) Chevrolet brand said on Wednesday that U.S. retail sales of the new Malibu model were up 200 percent in January

I agree. I hope the car does well for GM.

 

If they wouldn't flood the rental car market (which places the resale in the toilet after 2 years), I'd consider buying one. Until they do, I'll keep my Honda.

Its indeed a good car, I'd take it over the Toyota or Honda anyday, would love to see the 3.8L Supercharged 6 in there, but what I do not like is the rear end, its a rip off of the old Mitsubishi Diamonte

GM is not making as many Rental car fleet sales as they did in the past. I remember last year they could have sold another 50-75,000 Impalas(or something like that), but GM stated they were going away from the large fleet sales due to minimal profit margins and hurting resale values.

Excellent! GMs previous history on this has screwed us in the resale dapartment. (right along with Ford and Chrysler)

 

I'v always been a GM fan first... just can't see taking it in the shorts at trade in time if I don't have to. I like the new Mailbu and the G8. One of them might just be my next car.

      Post your UOA, (used oil analysis) here

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Here's the second UOA on my 22 Wrangler with the Ecodiesel. This has 5k miles on AMSOIL Signature Series DEO 5w-40. The first one was dealer installed oil, no clue what it was, the second is what AMSOIL recommended, European FS 5w-40, Most of the Ecodiesel world is showing great results using the European MS 5w-40, I figured I would see how the DEO works. This is using an Ecoguard oil filter. It's my understanding this engine likes to shed aluminum.  We will see. So far I don't think this is too bad.

      Disable DRL's

      By revmanii · Posted

      I'm surprised nobody seems to offer a solution like the start/stop device I put in my new truck. Remembers my setting when shutdown. And while it still starts up in start/stop, it stores/evaluates what mode it was in when shut down and will change it whithin a second or 2 of startup. It'd be nice to have something like that for the DRLs.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      I will be doing that for sure, but I need to solve who has/ where I can find a bidirectional scan tool that will support OBD 1.5. I'm kicking myself because I ebay'ed a Snap On MT2500 that I didn't think I'd ever need anymore. D'oh!! I'd rather not buy another, so I'll contact a few local shops to see if they have one and how much they'd want to do the procedure. I'd rather have the ability to do it myself... I wish there was a modern tool that could do it all, but I'd have no idea what to buy.   The theory with the pulled timing is that it mimics a rich condition. The delayed spark causes incomplete burn and the O2 sensor picks up low oxygen levels. That's interpreted as a rich condition so the PCM pulls fuel and that shows up in the deeply negative fuel trims.

      An ultra wealthy man had the most beautiful daughter. But, there was a problem. Everything she touched would melt in her hands. No matter what, Metal, Wood, Stone. Anything she touched would melt. She could not feed herself. Because of this, men were afraid of her. Nobody would dare marry her. Her father was despaired. What could he do to help his daughter? He consulted doctors, scientists and anybody who could solve this problem. Finally one of them said, "If your daughter touches one thing that does not melt in her hands, she will be cured." He was overjoyed and came up with a plan. The next day, he held a competition. Any man who could bring his daughter an object that would not melt in her hands would be given billions of dollars to marry her. Three extremely intelligent and handsome young men took up the challenge. The first brought a very heavy steel rod, But alas, when the she touched it, it completely melted in a matter of seconds. He sadly went away. The second brought a beautiful diamond, knowing diamonds were one of the hardest substance in the world and would not melt. But alas, once she held it in her hand, it melted. He too was sent away disappointed. So now, there was one left He was very nervous & sweating. He approached the daughter & said, “put your hand in my pants pocket and feel what is in there." She did exactly what he asked. She felt something very hard. She held it in her hand, squeezing it as hard as she could. It did not melt & remained extremely hard. Her father was overjoyed. Everybody was overjoyed. She was finally cured. Nothing never, ever melted in her hand again. They married and they both lived happily ever after, raising a wonderful family. Question: What was in the the groom’s pants pocket??? Answer below ↓ M&Ms of course! They melt in your mouth, not in your hand. What on earth were you thinking?
