I think it may be interesting to see the age demographic of the '08 Malibu.

The wife will turn 60 this year.

My wife is 51.

As the site and Malibu ownership grow, I wonder if the current statistic will remain a constant. So far, 66% of the principal drivers are over 41 and older.

Does anyone know what age demographic Chevy is shooting for with the new Malibu?

Well...I'm 26 and my wife is 28.

The numbers are starting to balance out equally.

Hmm, universal appeal???

The wife and I are about to turn 60. Now, I'm thinking we must be going through some sort of age crisis! :eek::D

I'm 46 and the wife is 43.

Looks like we need a few more youngun's to balance this poll out. :)

Chalk up a vote for the 21 to 30 group as I'm 27.

i'll be 23 on thursday

i'll be 23 on thursday

I have grandkids older than you! :eek::D

WOOHOO! I'm not the youngest one!

34 two weeks ago!

I'm actually turning 24 this year.

That's a pretty even distribution of age - Chevy has something that everyone wants!

thank god general motors is starting to build cars that everyone likes again 34 here

I think the demographics will be good for GM if they match ours...31-50 is the sweet spot in the market, and since the Malibu isn't an entry-level car, those are the groups that GM should should be shooting for, IMO.

Thought I'd bump this to the top. We have way more members than votes.

Im a 22 year old young'n

ahhh the good ole days...

Im a 22 year old young'n
Phil, I have grandkids older than you! :eek:

The Malibu amazes me with it's wide range of age appeal. I realize it's not a scientific poll, but still. Almost all age groups are finding this car and buying it.

Interesting that the 21-30 range is purchasing this ride...good sign for GM

I just hit 31 this past March so that just got me to the next bracket.

Old Guys Rule ;)
Me 55
Better half 50

Well I'm not going to vote becuase I don't own an 08, but I'm 20 and love the 2008 Malibus. GM delivered with this car.

You WILL own a 08' Malibu soon

Yup, someday I'll get one.

Yup, someday I'll get one.
And we'll be here for you to answer any questions you have along the way. Hell, we may even push you along until you do! :eek::D

HAHA, sounds good!

Wife and I both are 46.

Aaah, to be young again! :o;):)

With the recent surge in Forum membership I thought this Poll should be bumped for more input.

As we approach 300 members, I think it's time to bump the poll for additional new member input.

I'm 51, but I don't look or act like it :)

My age is 27.

Well...if I wasn't an idiot and went with the '07 Malibu instead of waiting a year...
I'm pretty much the principal driver in our family. Ever since I've been able to drive, my parents have taken a break from driving a lot.

Boy am I feeling like an old fart! :o:(

im 19 birthday is on april 6th i have to say buying a new car at 19 is pretty schweet :) my buddys parents just bought a Bu they are in their 40's ish

i have to say buying a new car at 19 is pretty schweet :)
Not to mention impressive!

WOW - Look the 21-30 group....Pretty Interesting...

I am 28 years old....First brand new car!!!

The issue is that you still have us baby boomers going through the society. We were always car people and grew up hot rodding etc. Still go to the drags, read all the car mags etc. Im just turning 60 as are all the boomers. They were born between 1948 and 1964.

So Im thinking the cars (all cars) will still be popular with us.

I think that Honda was caught off guard when the Element was bought up by the wifes etc. It was thought to be for the kids to put their Mountain bike, snow boards, skate boards etc. but the moms and dads found it be a small van to walk through etc.

My hubby and i are both 25.

I'm 28 and hopefully will have a Malibu soon.

I just turned 27 this month and I have to get my Malibu this week. Can't wait any longer!

25 and my wife is 24

I am 38, my fiance is 35.

My daughter turns 10 next month... so she is refering to the Malibu as her car when she's old enough... sadly she right.

I'll be 38 in November.

I'm 33 and this is my midlife crisis.
Interestingly here in NJ, Concerning the older Malibus (N Bodies) they are driven by little ol ladies. The ones I saw anyway. This new Z body seems to be the Middle age crowd. My observation anyway.

I am 33 and i luv the BU so far

I'm 19!! I'm one of the youngest!

I'm 19!! I'm one of the youngest!
I turned 60 last week, but I act like a 19 year old! :D Or so my wife says. :o

Never heard that one before, nor do i understand it.

28 here :)

wow, big range in ages! I would say around my area (L.A.), I see alot more older drivers in the new mali's. Good to know some older people still have good taste. I'm 23, my wife is 21. :cool:

i am 39 and the wife is 38.

I'm 48 and my wife is 42.

I'm 48 and my wife is 42.
Cradle robber! :eek::D

YEA LOL. I always wanted a young chippy.

Yeah Baby :cool:

I just turned 31 a few days ago.

65 but young at heart

wife is 21 i am 22

I'm the primary driver of the malibu. I'm 27 & my wife's 33.

Thirty Seven

Add one to the 20-30 age group (barely though, I'm 29). I love it! It's a sporty lookin' almost luxury car (at least that's how it feels upgrading from a Sunfire). My aunt has a Cadi and says she likes the interior of the new Malibu better! I have the Coco/Cashmere interior with Sandstone exterior. Although I would've bought the Golden Pewter Metallic if they had the one I was looking for!

36 here. Not bad at all for a daily commuter. Nice and quiet.

I'm so sexy

Im probably the youngest one in the forums lol I was 17 when I bought the car (with the help of my dad since I wasn't able to put it under my name due to the fact I was still a minor) and I just recently turned 18 so my name is finally on it. Yessssss I feel cool 8]

Fifty-Four. :)

Twenty-Two

Definitely one of the youngest Malibu owners out there, 21 years old :)

youngest im thinking... 17, its not under my name but I am the primary driver

There's no option for being 20 :P

I'm 20 years old....I'm not less than 20, so I picked 21-30 :)

haha yeah im 20 also but i went under 20 since the other one said 21-30

A little bit of a bump. lol. I'm 24. Its my car, and I'm the only one who drives it. haha!

Damn, I moved into the next age bracket since I posted this Poll. :eek::D

3 more to 60 Pizza :eek:

3 more to 60 Pizza :eek:
Three more and I retire, Malo! ;):D
