Bottomline The 2009 Chevrolet Malibu is a top contender in its class in almost every way. The 2009 Ford Fusion is a great choice for those who place their priorities on style and handling, but if interior space matters to you, look elsewhere. The 2008 Pontiac G6 has appealing styling inside and out, but it fails to wow in other respects.
