The Malibu SS and Malibu Maxx's features include:
  • an all-ebony design them, including the rear shelf of the Malibu and the cargo area of the Malibu Maxx
  • new sport front seats with enhanced, leather-covered bolsters, contrasting stitching, sport cloth inserts, and simulated leather head restraints
  • a three-spoke leather-wrapped sport steering wheel with a prominent SS badge,
  • and a leather covered shift knob with contrasting stitching

Malibu SS and Malibu Maxx SS also come with a unique instrument cluster with sport graphics, chrome-ringed gauges, red pointers and the SS logo. The instrument panel also has a redesigned ''PRNDM'' display, with the ''M'' designating the vehicles' manual shift mode.

Comfort and convenience options on both models includes a sunroof, six-disc CD changer, OnStar and (assuming the CRTC approves it in time) XM satellite radio. Visit onstar.com and gm.xmradio.com for more information about OnStar and XM Radio.

MSRPs are still to be determined, but the SS models will probably be at the top of the Malibu and Malibu Maxx pricing ladder, so that means something around $33,000 or even north of that.
