Pity this didn’t work out better. 3AM, middle of nowhere, train.

I’ll have more up as I get through them.

I cannot resolve the Malibu MAXX in my head. From some angles, like the one you have, it looks okay. From others, like the side profile, it just looks so awkward.

I wish they had just made a Malibu Wagon. Keep the bumper-bumper dimensions the same, and just extend the roof all the way back to the top edge of the trunk. That shortened tail and rear notch are just so damn awkward.

one thing that “helps” the maxx’s profile is a roof spoiler like on the SS version.

I always say the baffling thing about the maxx, is that GM killed the Saab 9-3 hatchback in 2003 and then somehow decided to bring in a fwd hatchback in the form of the Malibu. Really?

It looks OK, good even, to me... but of course I had 5 1/2 years to get used to the looks. And it was in black.

That said, I do NOT like the regular versions. Dechroming and the little tailgate spoiler do wonders for this thing.
