Not paying $600 a month but very nice!
No more GM for me.
The Malibu had a lot of issues that they never addressed.
Just bought a new RS in June. Beautiful car
People buy a camry for gas mileage and reliability not for speed... and now new look its worth it.. 2024 that looks like 2018 wasnt worth it.. now new design its worth it... also i choose white....
Scratch the EV's and mass produce the Malibu's! They are perfect!
Just got a 25 SE in heavy metal color. Love it. So smooth and it is not fast but it’s not slow. Love it.
This may be everyone’s last chance to get a brand new American FWD sedan in their lifetime. Because many European and Asian brands offer a number of cheap FWD sedans here in America and many Americans, on the other hand, prefer SUVs over sedans, it is unlikely that any American brand will ever offer a FWD sedan again in the near future. After this, the only American sedan options will be the Cadillac CT4 and CT5, both of which are RWD with optional AWD. The only upcoming sedan hasn’t been confirmed yet, but it’s possible as Ford has recently officially announced the possibility of a 4-door sedan variant of the Mustang and it’ll most likely be RWD-only, since it’ll most likely use a slightly lengthened version of the same platform as the current Mustang which is RWD-only as the Interceptor concept from 2007 did that. So this is it everyone, your last chance to get an American FWD sedan, exactly what was dominant in the 1980s and thus reminiscent of those times. If you want one, get it while you still can!
It is the same mistake again when GM discontinued the Malibu back in 1983. After many of their loyal customers complained they decided to bring it back in 1998. Now they are killing it again. For a sedan Chevrolet will not offer anything on their website now. Go look at Toyota's website, and you will see several sedan offerings. Now Chevrolet will look like Buick with only SUV offerings. GM just bought out a lot of Buick franchises because they did not want to invest the money to convert over to electric vehicles. Not everybody wants an electric vehicle. What about those people who live off grid, and those who do extended traveling?
Just got my 2012 250 Coupe- 1.8/turbo and I'm putting it back together but my test for getting a car or not is when I sit in it and test drive it,..., as I "try" to get out of the car and my butt will not let go of the seat,....., my butt just will not let go! Just a super little car, VERY QUIET in the cabin, and for a stiff AMG "SPORTS" trim ,..., it rides nicely LOL!!!! (Big plus with the 1.8 liter,...., 34mpg! not bad for $8000 + $3000 in repairs from previously CHEAP owners) All in All- cost me $11,500 for a very quick(really fast actually) economy sports car. Who'd have known!? HOOOT!? just have 1-2 thousand on the side for yearly maintenances after all the warranty time is up and this car will serve you well. (Oh and tires? front and back are different so I get a set every year from Simple Tire.com,..., BIG OH 40,000 mile warranty LionHarts for,...., $238 a set of 4! great tire and the uni-directionals are the bomb)
GM and ford dont care, they just want to sell the govt agenda
It seems that GM noticed that a lot of Blazer EV buyers were Bolt owners. Selling an affordable car that people would later trade up and stay with the same company used to be common.
I bought the last model 2024 2.0 with 9 speed its not in US but i found that in azerbaijan . its a fantastic car with modern staff
Horsepower power not up to 300 , a regular V6 better or 2.4l turbo hybrid max 340 horsepower better
it's awful! How can it be possible that people who still like GM sedans only have Cadillac left!
I’m very disappointed. I own a Malibu & like it a lot
7:18 Weren't willing to cut the check. JD doesn't work for free brother 😜. Thanks for compiling the data though.
They should've updated it and pushed the hybrid model. The hybrid model got 49/45.
Cuckmobile
I'm not happy 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬😞😓😓😓👎👎👎👎👎👎
YES bather
GM just keeps shooting itself in its foot. They should have used the excellent and proven VOLTEC system instead of this stupid all electric bullshit/. and now getting rid of the Malibu.. What is wrong with these idiots?
I guess they think we are all going to buy trucks and SUVs. I only buy cars, I guess it’s bye GM!
Another Brilliant move by GM🤣🤣! They should at least keep one sedan line in their lineup!. As usual they give up and cede the market to Honda and Toyota, etc.!
It’s so dumb bro they think everyone wants a suv 🤦🏽♂️
This appears to be nothing more than more of the woke mind virus then actual good business decisions. If they were pulling back on the EV side of their truck business they may have felt compelled to pull the Malibu to make some type of woke quota that they had set for themselves. It just doesn't make sense.
Its just kind of sad and pathetic that the three domestics makes have basically given up the midsize sedan market to the Asian brands. They're not even trying. Meanwhile Toyota, Honda, Hyundai and Kia are selling hundreds of thousands of them each year.
There are strong rumors that Hyundai, Kia, and Nissan will discontinue their mid-size sedans within a few years.
It’s more of GM being GM. They have great engineers, but their management is terrible. They learned absolutely nothing since 2008.
If we get a new presidential administration, that has some common sense, I'll guarantee that the major automakers, will switch to ICE vehicles...
The Malibu cannot compete with the Camry or the Accord. Even the Altima, which is not that great of a car, sells better.
Meh... GM can barely build trucks worth a shit. Their cars are absolute garbage. It won't be missed.
So Funny, American car companies are in Big Trouble Now, already ham strung by Japanese Companies, the knockout punch is China BYD and Others. It's Too Late to Pivot, The Big Small Three Have ALWAYS let shareholder profits and corporate EGO determine the value or Lack there of the products the OVERCHARGE for. Goodbye, There was a brief time in the 60's when quality was king.
I had a 2016 Malibu LS 1.5 turbo and it was the shittiest car ever just out of warranty. Complete POS. Got rid of it and got a frontier
they'll replace it with something people wont buy.mary barra & jim farley should be fired.there building crap nobody wants or will buy.
The government has subsidized battery production. The government will provide a big credit ($7,000 to $10,000) for EVs make in America. They're just following the money.
but if we dont buy EV's, its a waste, there allready filling sales lots.people dont want them.
Old school all the way!
Problem with the test. He got stuck going forward uphill. Then backed down to get unstuck. Would have been more legit if was able to go forward, OR proved that couldn’t go backwards in 4L with lockers on first, then engaged crawl control.
He backed down to get it even more stuck.
If I didn’t need a AWD vehicle this woulda been the new car I would’ve want!! Tons of sales on these right now for 2024 but I bought the 24 Equinox Brand new with 7 miles…
That is one of the dumbest things general motors did was to discontinue their cars to give up all that market share. When gas hits $6 a gallon everybody will want a car not an SUV
gm literally removed the more powerful 2.0L 4 cylinder in 2023 and its disappointingly underpowered
Yea they are .. They not marketing as family adorable car and a safe car for first time drivers it’s rides nice .
Somewhat of a gearhead, didn't even know they still made the malibu.
Same!
Mary Barra is clueless this is coming from a 45 year gm owner
Ford ties GM with cancelling the Fusion. They both should be applying brains and technology to make these cars more reliable, with better fuel economy, easier to service (no buried servo motors, etc.), and less costly. The new SUV stands for short ugly van. These new SUVs are mini vans with hoods. An SUV that stands for sport utility vehicle is a station wagon body on a pickup frame; a 1978 Chey Suburban was an SUV.
I'd imagine most sales went to rentals.
Chevy needs to keep the Malibu. It serves well as an economical unglamorous vehicle for an American auto manufacturer. Same with the Bolt. It's popular with Lyft/Uber drivers and serves well as an affordable EV transportation.
No loss because everyone still buys Accords and Camrys anyways when they want a sedan.
Nope I got a Malibu much better looking then those two
@@robertriley1569 well if it was selling competitively they wouldn't be stopping production would they?
@@rgx420s It had nothing to do with sales figures it's because it's a somewhat old fashion car with a gasoline engine. The Biden administration and the environmental nuts wanted it dead.
here is what happens when most of your cars are sold to fleets. They keep them for a year and then dump them on the used market which makes it harder to sell new ones when you can get a gently used one for a lot cheaper. So dealers have to mark down in order to move them which makes them not want to carry it.
I have rented several Malibu's over the years for business travel and always liked it. Zippy, good handling, easy to park.
