The Detroit News reported on January 16, 2008 that the Chevrolet Malibu and the Buick Enclave each won Urban Wheels Awards this week. For details, click here.

You know, I think a sports version of the Malibu would look pretty good.

Now I realize Saturn reserves the "sports sedan" moniker for the AURA, but since the Malibu already resembles a tasteful, contemporary, German luxury sedan, some subtle "sports package" cues can make it both elegant and sporty. Think brushed aluminum replacing the exterior chrome trim, a slightly lowered ride height, a slightly more aggressive front and rear fascia, a trunklid with a slight lip... basically the Audi "S" treatment.

I'm sure by SEMA time, though, we'll see the polar opposite - a slammed 'bu with 22-in chrome spinners, limo-tinted windows, two-tone paint, and shaved door handles.

Even the 'bu SS looked great before, I really agree that a Malibu Sport could look great. I don't think SS could fit this car.
