Rep Power: 326 I'm a fan of domestic muscle cars, but I have to say that came out really clean. I like the setup in general, its also nice they dont a sticker for every mod they've done to it. its goo though that there's no flaming going on right now...its not import vs. domestic, we live here anyway, its about people working on they're cars, customizing them to their taste, i like imports better because so far there's better technology and i think jap and german cars just have more to offer, of course you get what you pay for.

Rep Power: 0 I never really found the malibu that attractive but thought is was a decent looking car. Looks a lot like (or the accord looks a lot like) the previous accords.
Anyhow, that's a sweet looking sedan imo. Love the wheels too.

actually i would have rather had a naturally aspirated 238 hp engine than one that needed a turbo. turbos have bein deified way too much, and although you can just "turn up the boost" (to a point) with a turbo engine, you also have to deal with turbo lag (unless u got an awd car with turbo launchs)[hr]

You really need to get a little more "turbo" experience...
If you had a turbo, the LAST complaint you'd have would be lag...
:-)
My old 91 shadow ES Turbo hit full boost at about 3000....by that point it'd already have an open car on an si/gsr.....
If you had a 238HP N/A 4 banger, the LAST thing you would want to do would be to turbo it. You need low compression for a good turbo motor, and if your pushind 238HP N/A, chances are you have at LEAST a 10.5:1 CR.....is that turbo friendly?
NO
Turbo's are a much more efficient way of extracting power out of an engine..plain and simple....

Rep Power: 0 BTW, American DESIGNERS HAVE been putting style into amerincan cars for YEARS....It's upper management, and inept executives that ulitimately make bad design decisions, even though they themselves have ZERO design training (schooling)
Just an FYI...

Rep Power: 0 For one, that car is bad a$$!! It is one built by Jon Moss and the GM speciallty team. I have yet to see one single car them guys did and say it sucked. They are the ones that build all of Tim Allens GM cars.

A little bit less in the way of battle tank bodykits and outrageously large rims and I would like it.
