Its not amazing that it has taken nearly 20 years for the company to begin to shed its bad skin from the horrible late 70's and 80's. Once GM can universally change customers' impression of their products, I feel that we should see an improvement in sales of its mainstream cars like Malibu. GM and Chevy are getting the message; It wasn't long ago that buyers had to suffer with a marginal design for almost a decade without change. GM is really trying to get back in the forefront of the industry.

Yeah...I posted during my lunch break and might've been in a bit of a hurry. I think I missed what you said about the design.

250K is the sales goal? That is quite the goal, last year they only sold 188K Malibus. even the year before was 200K. I don't think its going to gain 50-70K in sales in one year, maybe in a few but not the first. Like otehr have said the public needs to see how good of a car it is before it starts climbing in with the big boys

Yup, Fusion had a really good March. I was going off of 2014's end of year numbers when I said Fusion was in fourth place.
