Chevy: Find New Roads....Just Not in a Malibu. Chevy Kills off Malibu
I just don't get why the domestic manufacturers seems to be killing off all their cars. I get that SUV's and trucks generate good profit, but given the current economic conditions that I won't delve into, you'd think there would be a market for comparatively more affordable vehicles that get better mileage. The foreign manufacturers seems to make money selling actual cars; Americans obviously still want to buy them, and now they're almost forced to buy foreign. |

The Malibu is a horribly ugly appliance car. It deserves to be discontinued.

Corporate suicide. Following Chrysler.
Heading in the wrong direction with all the eggs in the basket. How old are the kids running these companies? Dumb****s. |

I wish I looked at a Buick SUV before I bought the Honda. I may be able to hear my music over of road noise without cracking it up. I was looking for trouble free over luxury.
I remember being driven around in Buicks in my youth and thinking: damn! this is a quiet ride. I guess they aren’t cool enough because they relate to old farts. I didn’t fart because everyone in the Buick would have heard it. OK, truthfully, I didn’t want to stink them out. |

Well. Technically they are regulating NEW gas cars out of existence. Soon, they'll do like California, and employ emissions standards to regulate used gas cars out of existence as well. ****ing idiots. A revolution, every now and then, is a good thing!

An alternative method of transportation vs ICE vehicles is perfectly fine to me. Honestly the combustion engine is archaic really, we been using them for over 100 years for automobiles and truck.
Surely we can come up with more options. And besides, today's younger don't drive like us and/or go to a job daily. A huge percentage have no need for a personal vehicle. One more thing, on the continuance of petroleum based....do you really think all these oil barons will just stop? Not in our lifetime. WAY too much money to just turn off the liquid gold..... |
