I know the Malibu is unique in its own right, but I think it looks something like this (which is a good thing):

I think the Malibu has "sexier" curves than the TL. Don't get me wrong, I like the TL, but it is more about angles than curves for that car.

What's the price differential? I'm thinking it's considerable. Saving money is also sexy! :D

I'm thinking for the LTZ V6 and the Base TL, about a $5000. Although, I've heard that Base TL's can be had for between $29-30k.

Do they actually have base TL's on dealer's lots? You'd probably have to order one that way.

Think they totally redisgned the TL for 2009 - think the old TL also has some blind spot issues as does the current 08 Malibu...

I'm sure they have base models. They have the base, TL w/Navigation, and Type S. The base is the biggest TL seller. But, their term of "base" model is basically everything except navi.

I think the interior ,especially the dash reminds me of a vintage 60s corvette. And if you put the new Vette and the malibu side by side, their rears look alike. What more could you ask for for the bucks spent!!!

I did not notice that for a long time. Someone had to point it out for me.

I remember riding in my Grandma's '67 Vette.

The Malibu reminds me of... the fun of driving a sporty car that looks great.
