The first Chevrolet Malibu was produced in 1964. Since then it has been one of the most recognized cars of General Motors.

The 2010 Chevrolet Malibu for sale is the seventh generation of the vehicle and is built on a revised version of the long-wheelbase Epsilon platform shared with the Saturn Aura, the Opel Signum, and Pontiac G6. This is the smaller of Chevy’s two midsize sedans and it is assembled in Kansas City and Lake Orion, Michigan.

The 2010 Chevrolet Malibu is available for sale in four trim levels (LS, 1 LT, 2 LT, LTZ), with a choice of two engines and three transmissions. LS and LT have a 169-hp 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine, which is now capable of running on E85 ethanol-blended fuel. LT and LTZ versions use a 6-speed automatic, while LS has a 4-speed automatic transmission. LT and LTZ have an optional 252-hp 3.6-liter V6 that teams with the 6-speed automatic.

All Malibu cars are equipped with: seat-mounted thorax airbags, side-curtain airbags, stability control, traction control, four-wheel antilock disc brakes, and tire pressure monitor. Another advantage is a one-year subscription to OnStar’s Directions and Connections plan, including: automatic crash response, stolen vehicle assistance, remote door unlock, emergency services and roadside assistance, hands-free calling, and vehicle diagnostics. When it comes to gas mileage, the estimated MPG is 22 in the city and 33 on a highway.

The 2009 Ford Edge is a high-end crossover SUV manufactured by the Ford motor company, based on the Ford CD3 platform shared with the old generation Mazda6 and is marketed in a ever so slightly adapted form as the Lincoln MKX. The platform is shared with others, including the Mazda CX-9 crossover, the Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan, and the Lincoln sedans.

The Edge attempts to bridge the gap that exists between minivans, such as the now discontinued Freestar, and the more truck-like SUVs, for example the Explorer. Ford officially places the Edge lower down than the Taurus in the crossover Sports utility vehicle lineup, despite not being noticeable smaller.

The 2009 Ford Edge is the latest model in the Edge range and that attempts to live up to the demand for a spacious, yet stylish, car. This five-passenger utility vehicle has several interesting features. Ford insists that this is much more than just a car, suggesting that it is a cross between a minivan and a truck.
