36 - The Oakville Beaver, Wednesday September 24, 2008 www.oakvillebeaver.com Discover the new Malibu Continued from Page 35 And probably will be soon. With this variation of engines, amenity levels and trim selection, you can see that there should be a Malibu make and model for every driver. But what really sets this newest Malibu apart is not model differences but the overwhelming qualities in common. Qualities that include: · A robust chassis with a well-balanced, four-wheel independent suspension system features a MacPherson strut front suspension design and multilink rear suspension. · Attention to NVH through liquid spray-on sound deadener, laminated steel, composite wheel liners, and laminated "quiet glass" for one of the segment's quietest driving experiences. · Two steering systems, each with excellent turn-in and road feel - a variable electric power-assist steering system with the 2.4L engine and hydraulic-assisted steering systems on V-6 models. · Standard ABS and full Traction Control · Standard tire pressure monitoring system You know, for the last few decades or so, the "domestic" manufacturers have been battered by the press, beaten by the competition and often ignored by customers who have been made more demanding by content and qualities that always seemed only inherent to imports. Which is why it's really nice to see a GM car that not only meets driver demands but exceeds customer expectations, in qualities best experienced behind the wheel of a new Chevrolet Malibu. There are five new colours slated for 2009 and also some tweaks to trim level standards. Check with your local dealer for the content and pricing differences of upcoming 2009 Malibu models. www.oakvillebeaver.com Along with 2.4-litre inline four-cylinder and 3.6-litre DOHC V6 choices, the Malibu Hybrid offers an electrically-assisted version of the 2.4-litre powerplant.
