I always though the 2008 Malibu interior was pretty snazzy at the time.
Remember when GM had Compact Pickup Trucks? It’s pretty easy to fit a V8 in your smallest truck when your smallest truck is the size of the previous generation’s full size truck. Read more
Yeah, Radwood here I come! Completely irrational NP and I know it. I once belonged to the Yahoo Groups A Body club - lol. To be honest, there are a couple more versions I’d rather have than this one but neither had the 3.8.
Came here for this, was not disappointed.

Well, considering this particular car is known as THE COCAINE HAMMER....
You mean Jalopnik is gutted.

That’s funny. I didn’t think 1995 was in the 80’s. Read more
Eh. They’re fine. People love to cry and jerk each other off about how “bad” GM is. But while their products were boring in the 90’s. They weren’t near as bad as people make them out to be. They were just super average. We’re they better than the competition? Eh. No. But were they bottom of the barrel and undrivable?… Read more
90s V6 equipped American mid size cars were slow shit barges but they had torque. Ford’s 3.8L V6 had like 220 lbft, that much torque in a Taurus...
