Perhaps that is why I took more offense to their deception than I have from other companies, even though they all do it and it's expected.

For better or worse, still have my Road Glide, it's time to gear up and go for a ride.
yup, people just have to understand what the real world is all about..take for instance the Chevy Malibu, which is in the same class as the Toyota Camry..why would somebody buy such an inferior car for their hard earned money, because of Baseball, Apple Pie and Chevrolet being American?

there is this thing called the internet, and Car reviews are shared there..you should read the comparisons..specifically how your Malibu stacks up to its competitors...Camrys and Accords..you might want to have a bottle of booze handy to drown your sorrows after the dose of reality hits you, just sayin' ... there's a reason the Malibu is being discontinued but its competitors are outselling all others

2025 Chevy Malibu will be a collectors item! 60 years is a pretty good run.

Disclaimer: it is really not probable that the 2025 Chevy Malibu will be a collectors item.....the 1st and 2nd generation of Malibu's were pretty good looking cars.

Check out the late 70s and 80s Malibus but dont eat as it will induce projectile vomit.
