2008 Chevrolet Malibu 2LT Review

Chevrolet's new Malibu is a front-wheel-drive four-door sedan that has been warmly embraced by the critics and public alike. Although the Malibu holds a rich history, over time it evolved into a plebian grocery-getter losing much of its former glory in the process. Can the latest incarnation of this once worshipped Chevy rekindle the spirit? Breaking the moldThe 2008 Malibu is quite a departure stylistically from its predecessor. The car now projects a clean, Euro-influenced design that is emphasized by swept-back headlights, flared wheel wells and a heavily raked front windshield. This is bold stuff for Chevy, and it's definitely paying off.
