That might be true but out of the many thousands of cars I view and process in my mind each month, to only see 2 of a "common mainstream model" is kind of weird.

I see much lower volume cars such as an LS460 and new S550 just about everyday but I never see Chevy's bread and butter car? Just weird, that's all.

It's not one I'd miss either especially with that ugly butt on it.

It's just not selling in Massachusetts much then.

Since we're all hurling insults here, the "ugly" rear of the Malibu has NOTHING on the bland, ugly blob that is the Camry. If ever there was a way to style a car to appear totally nondescript and devoid of any style, Toyota has figured it out with the Camry.

And let's not even go into the interior...

I do see them around but not as common as the new Accord nor as hyped as it is. I see it at the mall more than on the street sadly.

generally it does unless you live in the sticks. All big cities should be strewn with them if they are so great. I personally dont care for any american car, so I dont pay attention to much to them. I like the new look of the car but it is an ameriican car and I wouldnt touch that thing.

Never seen one in Toronto. I distinctively know the styling of the car because there have been massive ads for months now. The front is similar to Cadillac CTS.

True. I live in the high populated south coast of Mass, travel around the Providence and Boston area's often and still haven't come across more than 2.
