Bottomline The 2009 Chevrolet Malibu is a top contender in its class in almost every way. Whether you're looking for a comfy commuter in the $20,000 range or a luxurious, powerful $30,000 family sedan, the newly redesigned 2008 Honda Accord should be on your shortlist. The 2009 Mitsubishi Galant does most things well, but the newest family sedans do them even better.
