Quote of the Week: Previous Malibu "Styled on an Etch-a-Sketch by blindfolded barbers."

Dan Neil wins quote of the week for his line about the improvement of the 2008 Chevy Malibu in his Los Angeles Times Highway Column  in which he says that the Malibu, competing with the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry, achieves a grade of "average," which is precisely its goal. He makes the great point that the car's C-pillar gives it an Audi look (I'd say the A6). And now for the quote of the week, Neil goes on to say that the Malibu "is a major improvement over the previous-generation Malibu, which looked like it was styled on an Etch-a-Sketch by blindfolded barbers."
