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)
