It's Confirmed. The General Sales Manager made a couple calls this morning on my behalf to see if the Lake Orion plant is in jeopardy of closing this week due the parts shortage and the answer is... no. Needless to say I'm thrilled. Woo Hoo. I should have the Dark Grey Stallion next week sometime.

[IMO - the dealer went out of their way to quell my fears. Impressive]

Outstanding, Scott! Please post a photo or two. I've never seen the dark grey and that's the one color they use most frequently in the TV ads.

I just got word my Malibu has been built and get this... I might get it TODAY.

Amazing, considering I ordered it on the 17th of March.

Chevy really understands how to delight customers.

Wow, that's great. I never heard of a order being filled that fast.

I pick it up at 4pm today!!

 

[Malibooboo]

I pick it up at 4pm today!!

It's like being a kid again on Christmas morning.

 

[Pizza Man]

I pick it up at 4pm today!!

Great news, Scott! Best wishes for an enjoyable ride.

I ordered 11/15, give or take a day or two, I received it 1/19/08. Eight weeks for me.

 

[salgeek]

Thanks guys!! Pizza Man - I think I got very lucky to get it so quick.

 

[Lee]

Way to go.

Like Pizza Man, I think it was 2 months to get ours.

 

[salgeek]

WOW. I love it. It's parked in the garage, and I'm enjoying reading the manuals. Looking forward to the sunny 50+ degree weather this weekend.

This is going to be a fun car to own.

Post some pix!!! Awesome man!!!

Man....other than the V6, you have the car I wanted to have built! They halted production of the vehicle when I ordered it. Oh, well, such is life! Congratulations, I know you'll love it!

 

[salgeek]

I couldn't be more pleased. I'm beginning to understand all the great things everyone has said about this wonderful automobile.

 

[08MalibuLeaser]

Very nice!

 

[Lee]

Looks good.
It looks like you have the optional 18 inch wheel. We never did see that wheel when we were checking cars on the lots.

 

[salgeek]

The wheels come with the 6 cyl option.

Truth be told I prefer the LTz wheels and/or the standard[Titanium colored] 2LT 17" wheels; but, I can't complain - they still look very good.

I might like them better if they were not from the Impala "parts bin" On the other hand I got a 6 cyl and 18" wheels for $2060. More than reasonable.

Enkei or Konigs may be in the cars future.

.

Now that I think of it, we did not see any LTs on the lots with a 6 cyl.

 

[08MalibuLeaser]

Has anyone heard the arrival date of the 09s?

 

[Malibooboo]

Has anyone heard the arrival date of the 09s?

I might end up waiting for the 09. I also may contemplate the LTZ 4 cyl model. Any little bit of GM incentive could push me to the point to commit. Right now I have so many other GM choices with good cash back programs, it's tough to justify the Malibu even though it is a great car.

 

[salgeek]

Malibooboo - There are incentives[$1,000] on the Malibu through the end of the month. If you own any GM[loyalty cash] or non-GM[conquest cash] vehicles '99 or newer. Had I not been able to get GMS pricing I would have used this. If I was a GM employee I could have doubled up.

I saw an 4cyl Ltz on the road yesterday ... w/ Manuf. plate.
