I was at the San Francisco Auto Show this weekend. There were more folks checking out the Malibus than any car Chevy had, save for the people lining up for the Z06. The interior finish on the 2LT and LTZ were top notch. I think I was the only one checking out the Impala SS. I definitely may consider a Malibu once the 4cyl/A6 combo becomes available on the LTZ later this year.
