My company car is an 05 malibu with the V6. While not good looking or something I would buy with my own money, it is not a bad car. The power is ok, the handling is nice and it has yet to go to the dealer for a problem. Most of my co-workers have taurus's and they are terrible cars(It was the only car option prior to 05). They have no acceleration, handle worse than my dads 3/4 ton truck and give exactly no feedback from the road. Most of them also have tranny problems, power window problems, and power steering problems. Oh, and the brakes are bad as well. If you can't tell, I'm not a big fan of them. The pontiac grand prix or G6 (same as malibu but looks better) might be something you should take a look at if you have to go american midsize. I would rather have a charger or 300 though.
