Sorry Wpbharry, I got you mixed up with regfootball. I also thought the sale2 numbers were in the 200k range but Automobile magazine said 110k. Of course they have been wrong before.
The Maxx has potential. Of course, my next vehicle will be a minivan. Lose the last bit of manhood I have left. I cna see me now driving around blasting Barney over the stereo...."I love you, you love me....."
For what it means, the sales rep said they are selling well. The one out front I was looking at had a sold sign on it, so maybe it's the truth.
In any case, I think this car is a winner for bread and butter customers...can't wait to see the Maxx.
then maybe it would actually be good to have a bunch in rental fleets to get the word out......?
See, that's why I need the picnic table extension.
But it's us vs. our best buds, the New York Jets.
This is when my allegiance get's tried.
Think that the pop-ups tell the story.
Hope no new 'Bus are on the truck awaiting delivery.
Although I'll probably never be in the market for the Malibu, I still follow it closely and can't wait to check out the Maxx. I always thought it was silly that to get a hauling versatility(something that is used frequently) you have to have an off-road vehicle (something that is rarely needed) and the 10-15 fewer MPG that comes with it.
You guys (ok, girls too) have helped sharpen my automobile obsession.
I'm in hysterics. Yeah, the +/- is the radio volume adjuster. EXCELLENT, bc.
Deal with that first.
I'll check gmbuypower later this week to see if ours have come in.
I called the dealer; he said the car was over in the ditribution lot in Annapolis. Better get the Bu's away from there too!! Yikes!
the + is for me to push and it changes the engine from a pushrod to OHC. The - changes it back. I leave it in - mode for city driving to retain the classic GM launch feel and torque torque gotta have torque (it automatically puts the aggressive throttle linkage in action!) and then when i leave the inner city and hit some freeway then i change the cams over to OHC and it all of a sudden becomes a revver.
Sounds more and more like Chevy finally has a winner every day. Lets hope the car stays that way!
He'll be up in another few hours.
Keep us updated with how you're fairing!
It is actually a button to activate displacement on demand. Hit minus and you run one less cylinder. Hit plus and you activate up to two hidden non-advertised cylinders. It is actually the LS6 from the Corvette Z06 shoehorned in the Malibu with displacement on demand added. Fuel economy with all eight cylinders activated goes down a bit though
My wife followed me once in other car, and noticed that the left brake light does not work. We would not know otherwise. I must check them more often and more carefully.
There are two brake bulbs on the both sides. When just one of them does not works, the light looks as working OK. This is good thing: you can drive safe with a burned-out bulb. But it makes hard to know, that one of the bulbs is gone.
To find the problem, you have, first, to know what to look for. And, second, inspect the lights carefully from a short distance. In darker place or at darker time, from 3-5 feet or so. Then you can see, if the both bulbs are working, or only one.
After the inspection, I found that not only the both left bulbs are gone, but one of the right ones too.
The replacement itself is a 5-minute job, 10 to 15 minutes first time. But one of the socket turned to be blackened. Had to clean the contacts with a sand paper.
By the way, either GM or bulb manufacturer (Silvanya), do not remember exactly, recommends replacing them in pairs. Even when only one bulb does not work.
Given the brake bulbs cost something like $2.50 or $3.50 a pair in Pep Boys, this looks very reasonable. Do not remember the exact price, but remember that there were two sorts of bulbs on the shelfs: normal and long-life.
harry...its been a hoot so far, I am sleep deprived, but not as much as my poor wife. Baby wants to eat like every hour to hour and a half lately. My wife is like a 24 hour cafeteria to the little one......she can't get any sleep! My postings are quite random recently as I am only checking about 10 topics.
Of course sunday I saw my second 04 on the lots, this one had uglycloth. It looks worse in pics than in the car, but still its not super attractive. This one I saw was silver with grey interior. LS with sunroof. Almost 23k. Who's gonna pay over 20 grand for this car? It may be closer to being worth it now, but still.
Actually that button on the shifter, er, inverted golf club, is for the radioactive missile bomb launchers for those moments when road rage hits! Its like Asteroids or Space Invaders! Protect yoself!
Thank you, GM!!!
Reg: our bet is a draw. I went immediately over to my Mazda dealer and got in the 6. The driver's leg room is a tie with the Bu. However, the entry head room is way better in the Bu (both had a power sun roof).
Back to the Bu: I thought it was a LOT more attractive in person than on the net. The passenger's side leg room is EXCELLENT. Now for the rear leg room: AWFUL. With the front seats all the way back, there is NO leg room for an adult; very, very shameful. I'll tell ya, the Maxx is going to fly off the showroom floors. I can't see why anyone would buy the sedan when the Maxx's rear comfort will match the front seating areas.
The ultralux was very nice. I liked it a lot. The cabin was attractive, although the glove box is indeed tiny, and the center storage box is one level only, and cannot be reconfigured due to a coin holder and cell phone holder inside.
I can't wait to see the grey cloth interior; I'll just have to hope it is a bit less busy than the neutral colored cloth.
Gotta go!
Maxx should be better.
its a draw.
I trust maxx has vacated the premises.
sorry bout not stopping by dindak. still no malibus in canada? most dealers here have a few.
I'll check my dealer next week. Too swamped today and tomorrow.
Guess we know where all the new 'Bus have been heading recently.
Yuck. Yuck. Yuck. (I know styling is subjective.) But this is just so boring.
