The Fusion (left column) has been outselling the Malibu (right column) by 20-30k units each year

2005 16,983, 203,503
2006 142,502, 163,853
2007 149,552, 128,312
2008 147,569, 178,253
2009 180,671, 161,568
2010 219,219, 198,770
2011 248,067, 204,808
2012 241,263, 210,951

Sadly both domestics get left in the dust by the Camry and Accord which are usually in the 300,000+ range each year. There is just way to much competition in this segment. Besides Chevy and GM seem to be focusing on the sport segments the last few years with the Gen 5 Camaro, C7 Corvette and the sport sedan (SS) not to mention the Cadillac ATS and CTS. Then there's that whole Volt thing lol. I think the Cruze was a more important segment than the Malibu/Impalla. The latter sell well no matter what they look like (fleet, government, etc)
