It has a face now! And no horrid convoluted character lines, stupid unibrow, or stupid split grille! Don’t ask where the bowtie goes.

This is the Malibu with the character lines highlighted. A “monobrow” connects both of the headlights and continues back along the side of the car before giving up on life and plummeting to the rear wheel well. From the tail lights, a similar character line comes forward and, like the Missed Connections section of Craigslist, it stops short of its goal.

In my redesigned version the character line starts with the headlights and smashes straight back through the car to terminate in the tail lights, linking the front and back of the car with a solid, strong character crease. The bottom of the car likewise has a line that swoops up to the tail lights. The upper grille that forms the “monobrow” has gone away and the remaining grille was moved ever so slightly upwards.

I think it looks like a softer Fusion with a little bit of some Japanese manufacturer. Mazda maybe? Probably because of the face. #bringbackcarfaces

By fixed do you mean a 1000x worse? Looks like a stoned whale shark who was hit by a boat.

My elderly neighbor used to have one in a purple-ish color. I quite liked it.

I think it looks like these two had a baby.

I think the change needs to be made in the “fog lights” area.

That certainly helps as well. I still hate the unibrow and the line on the side.

What you’ve done is turned the front into a 2000 Camaro.

I’m not good enough with photoshop, but I’m imagining a full width flowtie now.

Slap the tesla logo on it and we have a winner I think.

No, you fixed the side and made the front worse. Seriously, whenever I see these from a distance, I love them. Then I see the bowtie placement and throw up a little. ALL IT NEEDS IS TO MOVE THE BOWTIE UP INTO THE UPPER GRILLE, GM. WHAT IS SO HARD ABOUT THAT.

And then you can add your side panel fix.
