Ummmm based on what? It hasn't won one comparison that I've read. Honda kicks all buts right now and for good reason. Ford has styling annnnnnnnnd that's about it.

All do but GM has had significant improvement over the years. Check the data. It's readily available.

Nope wrong again check this article which chooses the 2013 Malibu being better quality over the Ford Fusion. AND I dont even like the new Malibus styling that much and we all know its getting a new overhaul next year.

Years and years of people picking style over substance. Chrysler has lived on it in the down times. They have picked up on quality since the dark times and their sales are showing the result.

Malibu's not a bad car but it needs work now that Ford brought their A-game. |

Malibu more like 1 year. ECO was launched a while ago.

Not quite. It's only a problem if people don't get a bad impression based on 2 recalls in the first few months.

I don't see you posting in the thread about how the Malibu is getting a face-lift after a complete redesign just 1 year before because the sales are so shitty.

Ummmmmm fires and headlamps can't be ignored by law. Not that Ford wouldn't own up to other issues but these are Federally mandated. No credit to Ford on these.
Also Malibu is on styling, not functional quality.
