Just saw a group of rear lights before you includes two squares per side of LED lights rather than the more generally seen circles? It's likely that you've only been behind the latest Holden to reach Australia's roads: the Holden Malibu.

The Holden Malibu was made to become a midsize automobile that's got some of everything. It's got the superaggressive styling that people're more accustomed to seeing on Holden's punchier offshoot, HSV. It's probably no accident that "Malibu" seems just like the wellknown HSV model, the Maloo. But, the Holden Malibu gets its title from a motoring icon in america, the Chevrolet Malibu. Actually, it's just like the most recent incarnation of the Chevrolet Malibu (the 8th-generation).

Style-wise, the Holden Malibu is a blend of wild and light: the aggression that's blatantly apparent in the front is toned-down a little from the sideon shape, which has merely a bit of smoothness. The end result is a sedan that turns heads, okay. The trunk can be rather ferocious-looking, along with the inset boot-lid is just one detail that actually sets the Holden Malibu aside.

And the Holden Malibu has what is needed to back-up those looks with both of the engines available to go under that cleverly styled bonnet. The Holden Malibu
could keep diesel fanatics and <>petrolheads both content, with one-of each accessible. The larger torque to the version of the Holden Malibu clarifies why it has somewhat bigger brakes: 17inch ventilated front and rear disk brakes, where in fact the petrol-engine comes with solid rear disk brakes and 16inch ventilated front disk brakes. Both engine types possess the same towing capacity.

The Holden Malibu includes 2 styling versions: the CD as well as the CDX.

What exactly's the distinction between the Holden Malibu CD along with the CDX? Not a great deal, actually, besides a couple of trim and luxury features. The majority of the difference stems from the outside styling. Both, as an example, have a multifunction controls, however the one about the CDX is leatherwrapped. Both kinds of Holden Malibu have Bluetooth preparing for hands-free cellular use, and both have got the notable infotainment system (more on this later).

However, the infotainment system. This is truly among the standout characteristics of the Holden Malibu, also it's definitely among the initial things that you'll discover within the capacious cottage - the blue-light buttons have a small space-age touch to them-and they actually stick out (which means it won't take you long to discover all you want). Command Central for this particular infotainment system may be the seveninch multifunction touch screen, which will keep you up-to-date on the rearview camera, the central air configurations and (most importantly) what's playing throughout the ninespeaker sound system. It's possible, naturally, hook your iPod up-to the system or pop a memory stick along with your favourite tracks to the USB input jack. However, you may also want to listen to what the Bluetooth audio streaming provides because of the embedded Pandora and Sticher Smartradio applications. Manage what's happening either via the touchscreen or the steeringwheel mounted controls. And don't overlook the hands-free calling to your Bluetooth-compatible cell phone: we all understand what the law says about utilizing the mobile while driving.
