Bottomline The 2009 Chevrolet Malibu is a top contender in its class in almost every way. The 2008 Dodge Avenger’s styling is refreshingly different in a same-as field of sedans, but otherwise it’s behind the curve. The 2008 Nissan Altima Coupe provides most of the practicality of the Altima sedan, with a lot more style.
