2004 Chevy Classic - Critique

Never heard of a Chevy Classic.

Have heard of the following Chevies

Corvette Malibu & Maxx Impala Cavalier SIlverado Suburban Trailblazer Blazer Tahoe Avalanche Astro Monte Carlo

I think the 'classic' is last year's Malibu; available only as a fleet car. Bill

Billccm is right. It took a while but I finally found a link:

We had one in the body shop and at first I thought it was just another dumbass misbadging stuff (we had some dude with one of the creame colored Monte Carlo's that had Lexus emblems on it *shrug*.) but then found out its just for rental car companies to have.

Whoa! Yeah. I bet you are correct. I had not thought of that. Probably cheaper than sending left over GM parts to Australia to =

make Holdens.

The new 4 door GTP's kinda are wierd, they have a coupe body shape to them, yet they somehow manage to squeeze those rear doors in there, which sucks for getting in and out, have to pretty much lean forward, otherwise you smash your head.

The malibu is ok as a company car (which is what we use them as) being on the same chassis as the Grand Am, they make relatively fun cars to drive when your on a wet empty parking lot. they are mad tyte drifters y0!

the Malibu's we have have the 3100 in them though, the 2.2 ecotec is kinda pushing it for that size of a car, it weighs like 3100lbs as it is. Ecotec needs to stay in the Cavalier and Cobalt.

Yeah. I was thinking while driving the Classic that it is almost exactly the same size as my 92 G/A. My old G/A is much more comfortable though. They still used foam padding on doors and steering wheels back in those days. And arms were meant to be hung out windows.

Next week I get to rent something else in Cleveland and drive to Columbus, OH and then to Chicago and back to Cleve. I am thinking about trying out a new Grand Am.

As an aside note, There are NO SUV's and very few cars =

available for rent in Houston at the moment.

Old Malibu design, rebadged. Sold to fleets.

My mother recently got a new Classic as a company car, the same as you described. She has a few other complaints:

Given the number of lingering problems and GM-style idiosyncrasies with the older Malibu (of which I am a so far content owner), the re-badging as "Classic" is maybe just a little TOO ironic, don't you think?

just have her tell them its a 2004 N-body Malibu, they well then say "theres no such thing as a 2004 N-body Mali- oh."

If they said that, we would know that they haven't bothered to open their 2004 manuals, as the Classic is there, and listed as an "N" car.
