Used Chevy Malibu Available at Dayton Chevrolet Dealer

Jan. 25, 2011 - PRLog -- Since its debut at Dayton Chevrolet dealer, Dave Arbogast, the Chevrolet Malibu has gone through several iterations. The initial lineup consisted of rear-drive midsizers that included coupes, sedans, wagons and the legendary, high-horsepower SS-badged muscle car. It now boasts a level of refinement and overall competence that puts it above its past generations and on par with other top midsize family sedans. Traits such as a comfortable and quiet ride, a roomy cabin, satisfying performance, handsome styling and value pricing make Chevrolet's latest Malibu a strong choice. Find it at the top Chevrolet dealer in Dayton, Dave Arbogast.

The present-generation Malibu became available for Dayton Chevy drivers in 2008. For 2009, the four-cylinder became standard across the board and the six-speed auto became standard on all but the LS and 1LT. The latter got the six-speed for 2010.
The previous version of the Chevy Malibu was offered in Dayton from 2004-'08. As there was that one-year overlap, Chevrolet distinguished the two different Malibus by calling the retiring version the "Malibu Classic." In addition to a sedan body style, the outgoing Malibu was also offered in a longer-wheelbase hatchback version called the Malibu Maxx.

Base LS and midlevel LT models made up the bulk of the Malibu's production. Previous to this, there was the Chevrolet Malibu from 1997-2003. Following its introduction, this midsize Malibu went upscale with optional leather trim and a sunroof in 1998. In 2000, the front styling was modified to be more Impala-like and the 3.1-liter V6 was improved with more power. Minor detail changes like exterior/interior trim revisions, automatic headlamp control, new audio systems with a CD player and new colors carried the Malibu through its next few years.
