Arrow Priced: 2008 Chevrolet Malibu

DETROIT ??” Consumers shopping for a no-frills Chevrolet Malibu will have to shell out $2,100 more for the redesigned 2008 model.

Chevy said the base 2008 Malibu will be priced starting at $19,995. Its predecessor, the 2007 Malibu, started at $17,865. An uplevel version of the previous-generation car has been carried over in limited numbers for model-year 2008. Rebadged as the Malibu Classic, its sticker is $20,880.

Chevy said the new Malibu is well equipped in the base version, with standard antilock disc brakes, six airbags, traction control, turn-by-turn navigation, air-conditioning and XM Satellite Radio.

The base and optional engines are bigger and more powerful for '08. Malibu gets a DOHC 2.4-liter four-cylinder rated at 169 horsepower, with an optional 252-hp DOHC 3.6-liter V6 also available. A four-speed automatic transmission is standard on four-cylinder models, while the V6 comes with a six-speed automatic.

Prices range up to $26,995 for the top-of-the-line Malibu LTZ.

A new Malibu Hybrid will carry a sticker of $22,790. It comes equipped with the 2.4-liter four-cylinder with electric assist. The EPA mileage ratings for the hybrid are only slightly higher than for the standard four-cylinder gasoline model ??” 24 mpg in the city and 32 mpg on the highway for the hybrid versus 22 and 30 for the gasoline.

The Malibu and Malibu Hybrid go on sale in November.

What this means to you: You can buy a Malibu Hybrid for the first time ??” but we're not sure why you'd want to.
