[Merc6]

didnt they just refresh this thing in like 2015? i had a 2017 malibu when my cruze was in for warranty work, and it was pretty awful. gas mileage wasnt great, it was really boring to drive, it also seems iffy on corners at high speeds. maybe just used to the cruze, but it just seemed like so much less of a car. it definitely had more room.

All of that sounds like a need for change. I drove that Malibu and left the whole brand shortly after. Their goal seemed like a pretty looking rental car inside and out.

It reminds me of the front end of the Honda Accord for some reason.

Kinda does.
