2008 Chevrolet Malibu
Family sedans are the bread and butter of the industry, but domestics have been shut out for years. The top three cars – the Honda Accord, Toyota Camry and Nissan Altima – are so dominant that some refer to them with one word: Camcordima. Then along comes Chevrolet, purveyor of a long line of lousy mid-size sedans, with a solid home run: the 2008 Malibu. This car’s overall goodness was as surprising as...as...well, as a competitive mid-size sedan from Chevrolet. By (finally) making a mid-size sedan that beats the Japanese at their own game, Chevy changed the whole game.
