So I'm thinking about buying an 08 chevy malibu LTZ... I've still got to test drive it and a bunch of other cars before I decide but the online research and reviews of the car that I've read have all been good. Wondering what real peoples impressions of the car are.

I'm looking to buy a similar type of sedan can spend ~20k give or take and something that's almost new in case anybody has other suggestions to look at.
I've got a bad chrysler now (hand me down I didn't buy it), I swore I wouldn't buy GM again but the Malibu looks like a good car has gotten good reviews and the warranty isn't terrible.

Even if GM does go bankrupt it'll simply be to restructure they won't completely disappear so that's not a concern of mine. However I do worry that this will start to break down hard around 100k like my current car.

I'm buying barely used and plan on getting a decent deal and holding it for several years before selling so I'm not too worried about the depreciation as I won't get hit with the new car penalty and after you've held any car for 5-6 years they've depreciated about the same. A 2000 anything isn't going to be worth a heck of a lot more than a 2000 anything else today as long as they were similar models when you bought the car.
 
detroit is going out of buisness, what does that tell you. quality is bad service is even worse. and they wont be around for long, save yourself from headaches and the worst deprecation of a vehicle. for 20k i would buy vw jetta or even a camry which i really hate but still better than detroit crap.
