From the WSJ today:
--- Quote ---The No. 1 U.S. auto maker in terms of sales will idle its Chevrolet Malibu factory near Kansas City for five weeks starting in late June, Vicky Hale, president of the United Auto Workers Local 31, said. Job cuts will be needed if GM is forced to slow assembly-line speeds when those workers return.
Additional downtime is also slated in Lordstown, Ohio, a small-car factory already stung by deep layoffs related to a pullback in demand for passenger cars. A GM spokesman declined to comment on specific plans.
GM enters the summer with a glut of unsold inventory after running production lines at relatively high rates to prepare for factory downtime related to plant upgrades. WardsAuto.com estimates GM’s production increased 2.9% over the first four months of 2017, even as the broader industry pulled back.
As a result, GM’s inventory spiked 43.5% at end of May compared with the prior year. It has nearly 1 million vehicles sitting on dealer lots, WardsAuto.com estimates, representing 101 days’ worth of supply, or 23.4% of total industry stock.

With that in mind, here's what Mahk had to say about the Malibu a few months ago.
Pilgrim:
I'd like to see GM do well, as that helps the industry in general. I think the Malibu is one of the best looking cars Chevy has offered in years, although I admit that I haven't been impressed by anything other than the Corvette for the past 20 years. Chevy has built some BUTT-UGLY cars (including the Moby Dick Impala series) over the past couple of decades. The current Impala, Cruze and Malibu are at least decent looking.
Some day, I may even forgive GM for the Rendezvous and the Aztek.
