Back to topic. I still wouldn't consider Malibu over Fusion or Camry/Accord.

saw a few of these on the road on a recent trip to canada. GREAT looking car!!! reminds me of a much more refined and better looking Avalon.

I also agree that the new Malibu, per your suggestion, bears some resemblance to a slightly downsized Avalon. I haven't sampled the latest 2016 (non-Touring) Avalon with its newly-softened suspension, but last years's version (the same car with stiffer underpinnings), IMO,was to very impressive on the road at all, and had some notable interior-quality flaws.

I think the Malibu is a very nicely styled car. What I can't get past in any Chevrolet is the cheap-looking aqua lighting in the interior, especially the guages. Just looks downmarket to me. Like the older green lighting in some cars.

It would be nice, though, if more manufacturers would follow what Ford started with the Mustang, several years ago, and install the device that allows the driver to pick any one of some 120 (or is it 130?) different colors for the dash lights.
