Just curious to see how it is beginnging to break down now?

Question is:

1) Do you own an 08'
2) Contemplating buying an 08'
3) Ordered an 09'

(And for our one member who has already bought and owns an 09' you know who you are so just post that you own an 09' :D)

I fall under the;

3) Ordered an 09'

Ordered an 08. Given a choice between the two, I'd rather have an 08 for the side marker lamps and the power pedals.

I'm definatly getting an '09...oh wait :D

I have order an 09 LTZ V6

If I had the money, I'd get an '09. Decontented slightly, but Bluetooth connectivity makes up for that. Plus, the extra MPGs sound good too.

:D Knew you would pick up on that dday! :D

Got an 08 LTZ 4cyl 6 speed since I didnt want to wait just for the bluetooth

Thanks PizzaMan - Greatly appreciated....

Just thought it would be interesting to see how the trim models roll out now that there is a year or more of them being on the market.

Why no 2LT in the poll?

There is a limit to the number of poll questions, The LT's were combined together so as not to exceed the limit.

Voted. I have owned a 2008 2LT since March, and I am enjoying every minute.

I've owned my 08 LTZ since early March too. A few minor quibbles so far (haven't posted in the problems topic, since I only recently noticed them), but nothing to keep me from being extremely satisfied with my choice of cars and powertrains.

Had my 08 since December 15. Loving every minute of it!!!

I ended going with an '08 2LT. After testing out a LTZ with the 4 cyl/6 speed and not being overly impressed I decided to snap up from a nearby dealer a 2LT that was the only one within a 300 mile radius that matched my main options. For me the '09 with its deletions only had the slightly improved gas mileage and bluetooth which I couldn't justify.

If everything goes as planned I will be buying an 09 LTZ. We are still deciding on a 4 or 6 cylinder though.

Go with the 6, the milage isn't that much less and IMO after driving the 4 v. the 6 there is no compairing the two.

If the Malibu can get what the EPA says or higher I will be happy.

I made my usual run through my dealer's lot yesterday looking for a Spring Package car, and as usual, there are none. However, the salesman told me three things:

1) The have a couple on order
2) He's driven one already- but thinks that it seems too shift-happy. He actually preferred the 4 cyl / 4 AT, even though they were told that the 6 speed actually has lower low gearing and taller top gears (so overall better range, in theory, and still more closely spaced to keep the 4 better in it's powerband).
3) He said I'd like my 3.6 MUCH better, especially since most of my driving is highway (also told him about my fuel economy so far- at 28-32 for the range, and he pretty much expected that).

I'm still going to go for a test ride in one once they get it. Not to buy it (never planned to). Just so I actually have knowledge of what I'm talking about, when other folks ask my opinion (and being the local car geek, it happens a lot).

Good for you CDN Girl! You'll probably feel like it's your birthday when you finally get it.

Hey tell me about some good owners of this, if possible for anyone.
