    I know if you get it all decked out it costs more, but the Chevrolet Malibu starts about $20k. That's not too much more than a Jetta, right? Especially if you're going to spring for some options.

    I don't know, just an idea. I know I like the new Malibu! :)

    I was looking at the Malibu as well. Just never been much of a Chevy guy. The other strange thing is that by the time you equip the Malibu to the level of the base Impala--it comes very close to the Impala in price. I'd rather have the Impala's roomier interior and 3.6 litre V6.

    I've got a 2007 Jetta 2.5 on the lot. Seems to be a very nice vehicle. It has 24k miles on it.

    This deal won't go down until next July--if it even goes down. I may opt to drive the wheels off my Forenza. Just gettin my research on...

    Huh??? Now, the new Malibu is a nice first step in the right direction for GM(yes, GM does make a FEW decent autos, but not in the sub $25k segment), it still doesn't hold a candle to a Jetta.

    I was saying that with 24k miles on it, it was still a very tight, nice car. I didn't figure you'd be flying to Indy just to buy a used Jetta from little ole me.:p

    I can buy that. I'm very excited for GM with the new Malibu (and the ZR1, and the new CTS-V that's to come out shortly) with the higher attention to detail, fit & finish, etc. But having not sat in one I can believe it still might not be up to the Jetta's level. However, with Dad owning a 2004 Jetta, I wouldn't think it would miss it by too much.

    I do like the Mailbu's styling better than the plain-jane Impala.

    I saw an '08 Jetta S in dark blue yesterday--the styling was very nice.
