2008 Chevrolet Malibu LTZ Review

When auto journalists elected the new Chevrolet Malibu as the 2008 North American Car of the Year, I have to admit I was somewhat surprised. Of course, I had yet to take it for a spin, which might explain my slight puzzlement. However, my perception changed as soon as I got to spend some quality time with the new Malibu. This sedan marks a giant step forward for General Motors and it probably deserves all the accolades and awards won by the automaker. The new Chevy Malibu definitely has a better look to match its personality. Even though the rear-end treatment is not on par with the rest of the package, the styling is bold and classy, with a couple of fancy touches like chrome accents which further enhance its character.
