Is attractive as hell in person. Someone around here has a white one with the big 5-spoke rims, and damn it's pretty.

I'd have to think it's pretty fast with the 2.0T engine as well.

Probably not. They get the Opel Insignia instead. Same thing underneath.

it does look like an Opel if I look at it better. The only thing I hate is the Chevy badge, it looks so the last decade, they need to change it a little.

We probably won't have it since Chevrolet is pulling out of the market.

It is starting to look dated. A nice plain metal one would do a lot to update it.

I do like this car a lot. I think selling my Mom one of these was a great idea, especially with that 2.0 T.

The US gets the Insignia directly rebadged as the Buick Regal, the Chevy Malibu is the same basic platform, but different sheet metal and interior.

Unfortunately, it's been kind of a flop here. GM bungled the launch by making the most unpopular engine option the only one available initially, and they just never really recovered the momentum. Also, they saved money by using the exact same wheelbase as the Insignia, which left it with less rear legroom than American buyers are accustomed to in this segment.

Man, I saw a black 2012 (Which I preffer to the 14) with the 5 spokes. Wow, seriously, it looked so muscular and lean. I couldnt take my eyes off it. And its all thanks to the 5 spokes.

I drove one on St. Croix while on vacation, despite being terrified at driving on the opposite side of the road, I still noted it was actually very good looking. Comfy too.

The wheels really pull the whole car together.
