The Chevy Malibu Maxx. The first time I saw that car I thought that name would be better suited to a stripper or an erectile dysfunction medication. Why would you need two Xs?

Don't hold it against me, but I actually liked that car.

I kind of do to. I would never own one, god no. But it's a weird wagon... it's a wagon fastback!
I'm not into ugly-unique-awkward cars like the Soul/Juke, but the Maxx was something I didn't mind terribly.

I liked it, too. Especially the SS model.

But, the name...I can't help but think of this when I see or hear the name Malibu Maxx...

I drove one for a month, I thought it was soulless. However, it could do burnouts and it beat a 1969 Olds Toronado with the 455 in a drag race by a half a car length.

Introducing the Chevy Malibu Maxx, it's the porn star of automobiles.

Toronado in question:

It was a dealership loaner and I found a 1/4 mile road in the middle of nowhere country. What would you have done? FWD vs. FWD, GM vs. GM, 455 ci V8 vs 215 ci V6.

Marketing felt that adding an X to a name was what the "hip" kids would find to be "awesomesauce".
If one X was cool it's certain that two would be amazing.
As usual, Marketing was wrong.

They failed to realize the mid 2000s were not the same as the 90s.
