GM ending production of the Chevy Malibu is the latest sign that the Big Three are done with sedans. But consumers may not flock to expensive SUVs in response. Last week, General Motors announced that it would end production of the Chevrolet Malibu, which the company first introduced in 1964. Although not exactly a head turner (the Malibu was “so uncool, it was cool,” declared the New York Times), the sedan has become an American fixture, even an icon, appearing in classic films like Say Anything and Pulp Fiction.
