G.M. produces the Malibu at a plant in Fairfax, Kan., and will continue to manufacture the car until later this year, when it plans to retool the factory to make a new version of the Chevrolet Bolt, an electric car, and the Cadillac XT4, a luxury S.U.V.

The Malibu was a bland car and won’t be missed, but what I will miss is that was the last sedan they had. Now they will make nothing but larger crossovers, SUVs, etc. I hate that cars keep growing bigger like that.

I once heard the Malibu described as the car for people who hate driving but insist on buying American.

So essentially the Altima of American brands.
