Chevrolet Malibu Maxx



The Malibu Maxx was maxx in everything but looks. Even the word Maxx makes me want to regurgitate. I cannot say it better then Car and Driver magazine, "To American eyes, the body is a somewhat runty-looking cross between a family sedan and an ice chest, but it speaks to the Continental preference for hatchbacks." The Europeans would never fall for such an abomination. Leave it to the US automakers to take an existing sedan and tack a hatch on to it, and think it would sell. Remember the Oldsmobile Cutlass, and Buick Century of the mid 1980's. GM took a 4 door version of these and slapped on a hideous looking rear sloping hatchback. This nasty looking vehicle will be fodder for a future blog posting.

I drove one of these beauties and in less than one day the back side of the front driver's seat fell off! I don't know where you found the photo of the Maxx but they make it look better than the car actually does! Chevy really outdid themselves on this one!
