Here's some pictures of My new Company Car.
Black Granite with cocoa cashmire interior.
Has a 3.5L V6 219 Hp only available in Fleet cars.
I added Stainless rocker panel trim and Gibson exhaust tip.
I will buy this car in couple of years for my daughter.
I love this car. Kudos to chevy.

Very very nice. I was going to say you made a mistake on the engine but I guess not LOL! BTW welcome to the site and enjoy.

Exactly like my car except I have the 2LT model with the 4 engine...
Very nice !!!!

Any word if these cars have made it to the rental fleets like Avis or Enterprise or Hertz yet -- reason I ask is that Im taking a trip soon and wanted to rent a car for the ride

I wonder what the EPA mileage figures are for the 3.5 in the Malibu?
Impala shows 18 city and 29 highway. I would think the smaller Malibu would at least be 30 for the highway.

Lee,

Window sticker shows 18/29.
Only have 500 miles on it so I don't have a good feel for mileage yet.
I had a 2006 Impala before this and it did get 30mpg on highway.
I will say this engine in the malibu is very smooth with decent performance.
