Chevrolet Malibu MAXX SS – SUV versatility in a mid-sized sport sedan! I
bought this car a little over 3 years ago as a backup for my wife and me, and
for my then-teenage daughter to drive (straight-A student, very conservative
and careful). It had around 35,000 miles then, and has only 59,330 now!
The car is essentially perfect. It’s had all of its oil changes, and recent
services include a new in-tank electric fuel pump/sending unit assembly (a
$1,000 repair that won’t have to be done again for years, if ever), tires, A/C
service, and battery (only a month old). Not to mention full professional
detail. This is a The
Malibu MAXX is a unique crossover-hatchback SUV alternative based on an
already-capable mid-sized sedan. It shares its platform with the nimble,
Swedish Saab 9-3. The Malibu MAXX offers a roomy interior with dual fixed rear
skylights to give the cabin an airy feel. This car has the optional power
sunroof offering even more of an open feel. There's plenty of head-, shoulder-
and legroom in all directions. In order to accommodate a variety of drivers,
this car is equipped with a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, and the
optional power-adjustable pedals. The driver’s seat is 6-way power, and the
rear seats are split 60/40, with each section offering 7 inches of fore/aft
travel as well as a recline feature. Yes, the REAR seats adjust and recline, as
well as fold down! 4 basketball players will actually fit in this car!
Passengers are protected by front-impact airbags along with driver and
passenger head curtain airbags. Of course there are 4-wheel antilock disc
brakes (60% pad life on the fronts; 40% on the rears), and standard traction
control. This MAXX also has the optional remote-start feature that allows owners
to get a head start on heating or cooling down the cabin. Of course, that means
it also has multi-function remote key fobs, and a factory alarm/security
system. The
hatch area offers 22.8 cubic feet of capacity, and you can fold down the rear
seats and the front-passenger seat to open up more room for bulky items. An
adjustable, reversible (carpeted one side; hard plastic on the other)
parcel shelf allows for two-tier loading in the cargo area, and it can also
function as a supported, pull-out picnic or work table. Can anyone say
“tailgate party!”? Various hooks and nets help keep grocery bags from spilling
their contents. Other
options on this car include an in-dash 6-disc CD changer, Sirius/XM® satellite
radio, separate rear audio controls, and OnStar® telematics. One of
the really significant items is the SS package. Not just a bunch of SS
badging, this rare option meant that the car was tuned by GM’s Performance
Division. It includes a robust 3.9 liter V6 with 240 horsepower and torque down
low; large chrome exhaust tips; fog lights in the front lower fascia;
firm-feeling traditional hydraulic power steering (instead of the vague,
overboosted electric power steering found in all lesser Malibus); specially
tuned struts and springs; 18-inch alloy wheels; aluminum alloy rear control
arms; leather-and-cloth sport seats with extra bolstering; and a manual shift
mode on the quick-shifting 4-speed automatic. It adds up to a really fun to
drive package! My
daughter took the Tire Rack/BMW Car Club of America Street Survival Teen
Driving School in this car (which I highly recommend for all new drivers).
While the Camrys, Tauruses, etc. wallowed through the emergency maneuvers, the
MAXX cornered flat and with precision. And this was before the new tires. Adding
to the fun of driving is the tire selection. No off-the-shelf discount
specials, this car wears nearly new BF Goodrich G-Force Sport Comp 2 ultra high
performance tires, in the optional, slightly oversize 235/50ZR18. These tires
were $175.99 each new, and share the same compound used in Michelin Pilot Super
Sports (original equipment on the Ferrari 599 GTO)! While
the Malibu MAXX won’t substitute for seven- and eight-passenger SUVs, there are
plenty of people who really don't need more than five-passenger capacity, but
could use a little extra flexibility to keep up with a growing family, along
with hauling cargo. If that describes you, then the Malibu MAXX is a crossover
wagon worth considering. My daughter is an amateur photographer, and used the adjustable
table as a portable workbench on photo shoots. Raise the hatch, extend and
secure the table! Of course, the table is removable if you need a bigger space
for bulky items. One of
these cars with slightly more miles, but winter use in My
daughter now lives in Good
bidding! |

Chevy SS to get 1LE-like handling pack
Tue, Feb 17 2015Chevrolet engineers have more plans for the SS, but official approval stands between their wishes and our driving commands. After getting the no-cost option for a six-speed manual last year, Motor Trend reports that some company boffins want to throw the Camaro's track-focused 1LE package at it. On the Camaro that means the Performance Ride and Handling suspension, front and rear stabilizer bars, and 20-inch wheels all around concerning the road-focused bits. MT says that a 1LE on the SS would shed the staggered tires for one size all around, and get new dampers and a new suspension tune. It wouldn't turn the SS into a Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat, but the SS could do even more with its 415 horsepower and 415 pound-feet, hopefully without sacrificing too much of its plush road comfort in the process. It's said that a production example could be done in less than six months, but it sounds like the approval process will take longer.

Joe Flacco wins C7 Corvette along with MVP honors
Mon, 04 Feb 2013As part of a longstanding tradition, the MVP of Super Bowl XLVII, Joe Flacco, quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, was given a new car directly after the game and trophy celebrations. For 2013, that car is a 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, and it was presented to Flacco by Rick Flick of Banner Chevrolet, a dealership in New Orleans that was wiped out by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 before returning to prominence as the only Chevy dealer in Orleans Parish.
Last year, Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning took home a 2012 Corvette GS Centennial Edition. Manning also won in 2008, when he selected a Cadillac Escalade Hybrid as his reward. In 2011, quarterback Aaron Rodgers accepted the keys to a Camaro convertible.
Though we're most definitely an auto-obsessed group, we did watch the Big Game along with nearly everyone else in America. And we've gotta say, as if winning the Super Bowl and receiving the Tiffany-designed Pete Rozelle Trophy wasn't enough for the multi-millionaire MVP athletes, a brand-new C7 seems like an awfully generous prize. Scroll down below for an official announcement from General Motors.
Huge, pricey trucks haul jobs and profits for the Detroit Three
Tue, Feb 5 2019DECATUR, Texas — Mickey McMaster is on his 12th pickup truck. The 61-year old farm equipment dealer in Decatur, Texas, two weeks ago treated himself to a 2019 GMC Denali for around $69,000 — a reward for long hours at work. "For me this is the Cadillac of trucks, it's a real luxury vehicle," McMaster said. "I've worked my way up to afford a truck like this and it shows that I've earned it." McMaster is the kind of customer General Motors Co is banking on as it plans to add 1,000 jobs at a plant in Flint, Michigan that will build a new generation of its largest pickups. Demand from Texas and other heartland states for big pick-ups is providing a lifeline to many workers the No. 1 U.S. automaker is laying off at plants elsewhere. The Detroit Three automakers and thousands of their U.S. workers are counting on customers like McMaster to keep buying bigger and more luxurious pickup trucks even if overall U.S. vehicle demand weakens this year, as most analysts predict. At Flint, GM will build a new generation of its heavy-duty Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierras, including luxury models that are some of the most profitable vehicles on the planet. GM, Ford Motor Co and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV's Ram division own the segment and are each doubling down with new or redesigned models launching this year. Sales of heavy-duty pickups in the United States have grown to more than 600,000 vehicles a year, up more than 20 percent since 2013, according to industry data. Prices for luxury models can easily top $70,000. GM on Tuesday celebrated the launch of a new generation of heavy-duty GMC and Chevrolet pickups at the assembly plant in Flint, Michigan, that is now building all such trucks for the company. At the same time that GM is laying off thousands of U.S. workers and planning to shutter five North American factories, Flint is hiring. The plant runs on three daily shifts, six days a week. As the new model's assembly system ramps up, the plant's capacity will increase by more than 25 percent, plant manager Mike Perez told Reuters. The Flint plant plans to add 1,000 workers, more than half of the 1,500 factory workers who have asked to transfer from plants GM has targeted for shutdown as part of CEO Mary Barra's restructuring plan. "We're bringing in 50 to 100 people every week," said Perez. Workers last week were still finishing the job of retooling the Flint factory to build the new heavy-duty trucks as part of a $1.5 billion investment project.
