Just to play devil's advocate... I get the money budget tightness, except for the folks who pull up in a leased BMW and can only afford $10 of gas. Sometimes its about making smarter money decisions.

No doubt. We all know people who have made $30,000 and go out and buy a $35,000 car with all the options on a 7 year loan.
I don't have a problem with that similarity. In fact the rear view is the Malibu's best angle. But then I think the rear of the Accord looks good as well. It's the front I take issue with.
The Insight looks pretty good, still a bit chunky...though it does a better job of integrating it's heft than the current Civic.
Lots of people think it looks good - just read this thread. Lots don't...but lots do. It's unfortunate that there isn't a consensus but it is a highly subjective observation.
In dark colors, I think it looks very handsome. In light colors, it's a little more awkward around the rear but I still think it works well. It's more polarizing.
That said, the last generation was a better-looking, more universally accepted design, I would think (as do you).
The new Insight looks quite nice - we'll see it soon...
I don't get it. That just looks like a regular car to me. The front end is a little busy, but that's an industry trend, I'm afraid.
My LR4 has a tow rating of 7700lbs but the max hitch weight is 550lbs, it isn't enough when you factor in payload with tongue weight. I had a Q7 diesel before, tow rating was fine, but tongue weight was an issue. Using the 15% rule that means the trailer should only be 3500-4000lbs, my camper weighs more than that.
They're forcing people to buy trucks.
How is most of Europe getting away pulling trailers with smaller cars? People in the US seem to have this min-max mindset that says they need a F150 to pull a trailer with two ATVs on it or go up a light dirt road. 15% tongue weight is being a little conservative, but 7700 is somewhere around 7% which is on the looser end of things (in my opinion), but I guess someone in the legal department okayed it.
