Hello all, I have been a "guest" for months on this forum and finally decided to join. My name is Shawn and I have an '08 Malibu LS. My Malibu replaced my Saturn Aura the was totaled in an accident and I must say I like the interior of the Malibu much better. I'm looking forward chatting with everyone here here.

Welcome aboard Shawn, sorry to here about the Aura but the Bu sounds like it is a great replacement. Same platform right?

Hey, there. Welcome!

When you get a minute click on "Quick Links" and add a signature, too. It's easy.

Welcome aboard!

Welcome, and yes please fill out your sig!

Thanks everyone! I look forward to learning the ins and outs of the Bu. If it were not for the redesign, I would have never considered it. The previous generation never really caught my attention.

Yup, its the same platform, Epsilon I. Considering my Aura held up incredibly well from a side impact when the driver ran a red light going 35 mph, I can vouch these are pretty tough cars :D. My B-pillar was bent enough to cause the insurance company to total it out, but I walked away with only a superfical cut on my left cheek.

As for the Bu, I didn't think I would like to two tone interior until I actually looked at it in person. Now its one of my favorite features :D!
