I agree... It is not good for recent graduates out there right now. He was smart enough to pick up an intership with this employer almost 2 years ago. It really gave him a leg up on the competition, and now he is a very confident and knowlegable insurance agent and financial advisor.

I really think the car is a great fit for him. It looks fantastic, rides nice and gets great mileage. He spends a lot of time on the road, and needs something both comfortable and economical.

Thanks ChevyMgr! I'm sure there will be many smiles with many miles to come with this one.

Just curious... Have you seen an isues (big or small) wih the new Malibus? I personally don't know of anyone else that has one. I know they have been getting great reviews though.

Great looking car. We thought about one when we looked at the SS. If we had to do it again I think the Malibu would have won out but we would have got the Ebony/Brick Leather Interior

Here are a few more pictures of the interior. Love that color combination with the Summit White exterior! It is hard to see them on the steering wheel, but there are 2 paddle shifters there for manually shifting the 6-speed trans.






The dash looks awesome with that wood grain and chrome accents






The back seats are very comfortable and have a lot of leg room for a mid-size vehicle





Here is a close up of one of the wheels, I know Chadpuska wanted to see those. They are chrome plated aluminum 18"wheels with 225/50 Goodyear Eagle LS2 tires...

You know, I was thinking about this today... The ultimate would be to have this sedan with the 2.0 Turbo from our SS and mate it up to a 6-speed manual trans! I have seen that Ebony/Brick interior in an LTZ and that would be an awesome combination in there as well!
