It's hard to judge without seeing the rest of the car but I'm not feeling it. It looks like more of the same old Chevy to me:

Looking at how well the new impala's being doing up in Montreal (its even started replacing our crown vics as police cruisers.. sniff), i think this malibu will do pretty decently for itself. The interior definitely looks a lot like that old mustang, but I don't think that'll slow down sales too much. In fact i think people will be impressed with an interior like that.

A definite improvement, but not exactly groundbreaking. Then again, aren't Malibus only supposed to be A to B appliances anyway?

Still, if the interior is as good as shown above, and the fit, finish and quality are top notch, it should sell.

The front of that car is hidious.

Interior is kinda cool looking but build quality will determine if its good or not.

Wow, that looks awful. Frankly I'm kinda surprised since rumours said it was gorgeous.

I think that photo is a bit deceiving. I suspect that when you see the car in person, it will look quite nice...and far superior to the previous version.

That wouldn't take too much effort-Chevrolet car front ends are looking more like Chevy trucks every year!

Its OK. Nothing flashy, but a niceish sedan.
