If the Malibu meets GM's targets for quality and durability, it will be a challenger for best-in-class.

The Accord remains the best car in this segment, but it keeps its title by just a few points.

The 2004 Chevy Malibu is a contender.

I hate to poop on GM, but if I can get 25% more horsepower with 85% of the displacement, who gives a shard about whether a tank of gas is going to cost $1.50 more?

Regular unleaded.

I believe the only Honda that requires premium unleaded is the S2000. I could be wrong, though.

Some GM guy in my apt. complex has one right now. It really is not an attractive vehicle. Looks like a Kia, IMHO.
