GM formerly would slap an SS on anything that was a remotely sportier trim level for a model. Now, to be an SS it has to have serious go, stop, and turn performance credentials. It has to be something that would be competent on the track in competition. You just don't do that with mainstream midsize sedans. The Malibu is a brilliant family sedan, and that's all it needs to be.
