I love cars.  I've followed the car market since the mid 70's and not owned a USA domestic name plate until recently. 

But things are set to change.

GM is marketing the 2008 Malibu as "the car you can't ignore" and that is the truth.  This car is a game changer and gives me great hope that the US Domestic Auto Industry may survive into the coming decades.  If this car is just the start, GM should do well over the next few years!

PS - regular followers of this blog will remember that I traded my '04 Mazda RX8 for a used Chrysler PT Convertible.  I must confess, while this car lacks a nice interior, I'm very much convinced that the US Auto Industry IS capable of building desirable, reliable vehicles.  In 3 months, my PT has been trouble-free and fun.  The tires were well worn when I bought the car and recently I punctured both driver-side tires on road-debris.... I was pleasantly surprised that replacing ALL FOUR tires cost less than $250!  That all inclusive... mounting, spin balance, new stems, California disposal fee for old tires... EVERYTHING.... out the door for less than $250.  This car is the best financial decision I've made... and I'm loving the sunshine with the top down!
