Car Fact: The modern Chevrolet
Malibu has outlived all of its DIRECT "sibling" vehicles within GM's modern
portfolio (‘97-99 Oldsmobile Cutlass, ‘05-10 Pontiac G6, and the ‘07-09 Saturn
Aura). While some GM products shared their platform with the Malibu (ex. Buick
LaCrosse and Regal shared the Epsilon II platform), these models are not
essentially the same car as the Malibu like the others were.
In sort of a cruel irony fate:
The 2007 Saturn Aura heavily influenced the Malibu's 2008 and onwards design,
but was discontinued (with the entire Saturn brand) after just 3 model years.
Both the Aura and Malibu won the North American Car of the Year award back to
back (2007 & 2008 respectively).
