that set it above Toyota Camry:
Known as the most affordable model in its class, you can get the 2017 Chevy Malibu from Pat McGrath Chevyland in Cedar Rapids for only

The 2017 Chevy Malibu is more powerful, quicker to accelerate AND handles better than Camry. The newly re-designed front-end has sporty front fascia with hood streaks. Body design also features aerodynamic upturn on the trunklid for increased downforce.
The year's Malibu is 200 lbs lighter than 2016 and features an all new, nine-speed automatic transmission that improves fuel efficiency! You'll love the spacious interior that's friendly to tall people. Chevy's interactive 8-inch touchscreen interface has HD display and is fully compatible with your smart phone.

Sportier, Classier Mid-Sized Sedan
