It DOES look better than the new standard Malibu, which has styling cues reminiscent of the Chrysler K-cars of the early 80s.
Fugly front end though, you'd think it belonged on the Silverado. Actually now that I think about it, the Silverado looks BETTER than this.
Since it's being built at Fairfax (KC, KS) I feel bad for my fellow KC residents whose job will be in peril if this thing doesn't sell....I had an Intrigue from there a few years ago and the build quality was excellent. They deserve a better product.....
