2013 Chevrolet Malibu - 2011 New York Auto Show

[JoshLeeRape]

HATE it. they try to copy Ford. Looks like a old person car!

[bradfordD1]

I love this car gm please dont make any changes leave the car like this

[Harvismith]

What's up with the tap up - tap down? Guess they never heard of 'paddle shifters'.

[zhiyangzeng]

I cant help but to think about something else at 1:55 - 1:58.

[daybreakers2014]

No V6???? well im sticking to my 2010 LTZ

[RichKilla86ers]

RIP Chevelle Malibu

[MrRey84972]

We haven't gotten to 2012 yet they already have 2013 wow. Advance huh

[Lctsforce]

@MrRey84972 Next thing you know...All new 2014.

[GRIFFNUTTS]

Glad I got the 2010 Malibu with the v-6, I like power over an lcd with a hidden storage area behind it.

[ThousanWhite]

It's about time they put a nice screen in the Malibu

[betelgeiuze]

It seemed to me old Malibu2008 is better!

[76carmel]

Most Malibu sales are with the 4-cyl.; not the V-6. Also, the style started to get stale; this new version comes out around Feb. 2012. Chevy knows that Kia and Hyundai have come in with the Optima and Sonata respectively and has made game changers. Chevy didn't come out stale with its redesign. They've added the e-Assist hybrid first before going to the high hp territory; they're working on it...

[neugent101]

I wish they would put the upcoming new 3.6 with the 303hp they putting in the 2012 Lacrosse and the 2012 chevy impala

[Christokerson]

So gross I love my 08 ltz they can have this trash

[dantae666]

America i am begging you please dont stop building v8 engines do not let the muscle car die dont not copy eus in the uk and for god sake do not copy japan

[JoshJW11]

Yea, their probably gonna add a 2 liter turbo charged direct injection engine, thats what most are doing and they should really consider adding it at launch for more sales! But the car looks great inside and out!

[ericj305]

19 inch wheels? On a non-luxury family sedan? I like the looks of this car a lot, but how much of its appeal is owed to the oversized rims. Also, how much to replace a full set of tires?

[RichKilla86ers]

Eco cars are so boring I just wish GM would bring back the muscle car root like the Chevelle.

[mehiael]

looks like they tried to copy the asian style

[jeromeo05]

Me too I wish it had V6 hope they come out with it cuz I'm trade my 09 for it haha

[dragonamt]

They ALMOST gave it style. i know there is some in there. MY GOD! the only brand that I know of that has an even greater lack of styling than Chevy is Lexus. I mean this is the 21st century, I wanna see crazy shit with swoopy lines and jagged edges and air dams and nutty asymmetry (Not that I am a huge fan of the cube, but at least it is different) . These things look more like a bar of soap then ever. At least the grill has some texture.

[JshrBs01]

I wish the new Malibu would have had a v6 option.

[Corveette]

A potentially good car turned bad. I don't know who would buy this considering the much more appealing options out there.

[thebluexanadu78]

It is a very nice car!! It's like a mixture of a Camaro and a Cruze!! Very Cool!!! :)

[JayConstant09]

Is he looking down her shirt at 4:13?

[ericj305]

@JayConstant09 Actually, I think he was looking at her pussy. He probably caught a whiff...

[mrtecno99]

MALEBOOO !!!!

[chltmdwp]

haha kinda awkward ending!

[OscarVega92]

for drivers who cant drive

but I actually like the interior though

[dandaman22585]

interior looks still a bit outdated to me... but exterior is much much improved

[gentle285]

Jon Hahn: Congratulations and thank you for the boring marketing bullshit.

[xtyson5]

looks like a tarus

[AnonymoussourceL0L]

I liked the interior and the exterior, but seriously, why would they put blue on brown!? Those are the least cohesive colors I can think of! And why would they completely take away the v6? Make a good v6 like FORD did, and turbocharge it, good mileage and good performance for less money.

[flatblackstrat]

@AnonymoussourceL0L Ford's car is a fullsize with more weight while this is a midsize with less. First the reason they are doing it is for CAFE regs. Second they are taking a page out of Hyundai's book. Offering the car with a 4 Cylinder only will decrease production costs from less parts on the assembly line and making thing more streamlined, making them more efficient. Also Ford has always had a performance model for the Taurus in the form of the SHO the Malibu has not, and most don't want it.

[AnonymoussourceL0L]

@flatblackstrat but at the very least they could keep the v6 as an option, maybe borrowing the v6 from their camaro?

[flatblackstrat]

@AnonymoussourceL0L One of the reasons is probably because an overwhelming bulk of their sales are from the 4 cylinder, it's over 75% I bet (that's actually the US market as a whole I believe now). This car doesn't have the profit margins it once did and they need to find ways to cut costs to stay competitive, Hyundai did the same thing with the Sonata. The Camaro is full of low grade plastic and sold at a higher base along with less incentives. It's also a performance car, and has to meet CAFE

[AnonymoussourceL0L]

@flatblackstrat true dat.

[Hahaitssayed]

@AnonymoussourceL0L You're talking about the tiny 1 mm blue stitching? That's causing all the fuss? That's such a huge deal? Really? Uhh ok buddy..... Fucking trolls

[AnonymoussourceL0L]

@Hahaitssayed Me? Trolling? No! I'm serious! Is brown and blue not the least cohesive colors you can think of? Why couldn't they make it more... "presentable?" Like black with red stitching? I'm not fussing over the malibu because of its stitching because that's something I could change if I wanted to. I'm just not happy about the engine changes and such. So fuck you I guess :)

[Mausome]

GM can make a 4 cylinder that is High Quality with decent Performance & High Gas Mileage. They finally caught up to Accord and Camry. I think GM will surpass the Imports will this New Malibu.

[casmatori]

@Mausome I think so too, GM will prevail

[Krazyleggz742]

chevy is getting bad ass.

[sdlausen]

I've never been a big fan of Chevy-other than then the Vette--, but DAMN this is nice. I'd drive this.

[DotCalmmm]

@1:31

"Much more com-FORTABLE!"

[kenny1309]

@DotCalmmm

Eh, no.

You're exaggerating.

[wwaalltthheerr]

3,5 inch wider and 4,5 inch shorter....

that's what she said

[datpimpinboy]

AWWwwwwkwardd...

[crammage]

@Shamalong680 giggity

[bamac2008]

Looks like it should be a buick.

[NadrianATRS]

his head is shaped weird

[jvrdlc]

noV6?

fuck outta here

[k757]

Looks like a Taurus.... the rental companies will buy in bulk, congrats......yawn.

[TheiPhoneGuyHD]

REALLY nice movement there at 1:55

[Zinizzle]

NO V6!!?? I can see a lot of complaints coming in about that forcing GM to add a V6. 4 Cylinders never did last as long as V6s. Can we please stop trying to be conservationists and find a nice balance between performance and efficiency!? 190hp doesn't get my blood boiling.

[ePicTyler22]

@Zinizzle so...I'm guessing you dont like the idea of the Hyundai Sonata either?

[Zinizzle]

@ePicTyler22 Never was a Hyundai or Kia fan, but i gotta admit, job well done on the new Sonata. I mean Hyundai's 2.4liter makes 200hp, and at least they offer a turbo. GMs 2.5liter is 10hp short and no turbo yet?

[ePicTyler22]

@Zinizzle yeah. they probably will have a turbo eventually or maybe the V6 from the CTS, that would be nice. The 2013 Malibu is on the same platform as the new Buick Regal, so they will most likely share engines.

[menofat1]

@Zinizzle im pretty sure there will be a V6, they just didnt say it in this video and every previous generation malibu has had a V6.

[Zinizzle]

@menofat1 2:30 he clearly says "No V6" I think later on they might add a turbo like the Sonata did to it's 2.4L GDI. But GM is always so SLOW at everything.

[menofat1]

@Zinizzle oh wow that is a failure

[adogg619]

@Zinizzle

I'm one of the consumers that chooses the V6 over the 4 banger. I like it because it's smoother, more power right out of the box, and engine revs are lower at highway speeds. Besides the other competitors will still offer a V6, so why is Chevy taking this route?

[Zinizzle]

@adogg619 Only reason why is because of Fuel Consumption reasons, and Emissions. Most four cylinders achieve a ULEV (ultra low emission vehicle) rating. I wouldn't doubt it if the government still has their hands in it, they still partially own GM, probably did with that crap Volt too that no one can afford. But I'm just a fan of the good old V6 add VVT and it reduces emissions, I could spare a few miles to the gallon to have a powerful V6.

[adogg619]

@Zinizzle

Agreed, I'd spare a few gallons to have a bigger V6 engine.

[Zinizzle]

@adogg619 What kills me is that GM has plenty of displacement that they're not utilizing to it's full extent. Honda is great at utilizing displacement and having a nice power to efficiency ratio. And there power trains are almost flawless, "which the Japanese manufacturers are known for". But I mean come on Hondas 3.5Liter makes an impressive 271hp and with i-VTEC and VCM you get great power, low emissions, and fuel efficiency. I don't see the Malibu taking over the Accord or Camry.

[adogg619]

@Zinizzle

That's true, companies like Honda utilize more horsepower per unit of displacement like you said.

But I think there's a trade off regarding torque. The current Accord and Malibu V6s make the same amount of torque, but in the Chevy it comes on earlier in the RPM range. Not to say anything bad about the Accord, I've read good reviews on their 3.5L V6.

[deal37]

@adogg619 Chevy is following Hyundai, in the fact that they''re not producing a V6 anymore. What you're gonna see most likely is a turbocharged 4 banger, which makes as much horsepower as a V6 and gets the fuel economy of a 4 banger. What you're most likely gonna see with Mainstream mid-size cars(Camry, Accord, Sonata, Fusion, Malibu, ect...) in the near future them dropping the V6 altogether and using light turbochargers instead.

[adogg619]

@deal37

I realize that, but understand this, not everyone likes the feel of an undersized turbo 4 banger. And if it requires premium gas, I don't see much advantage. With a bigger engine like a V6, you get a smoother more refined motor, it's capable of making reliable power unstressed, increased longevity and provides higher capabilities for future modifications if desired by the customer. In other words, no replacement for displacement.

[deal37]

@adogg619 You sir, represent a small number of consumers who want a V6. Most people aren't going to feel the difference between a turbocharged 4 banger and a v6. these's are light pressure turbos, so they don't require premium gas. 99% of the people who buys these cars aren't concerned about the car's capabilities for future modifications.

[ratmtbola]

@Zinizzle "4 Cylinders never did last as long as V6s" ... well, that only accounts for the piece of shit engines GM builds. 

[Zinizzle]

@ratmtbola haha I undoubtedly agree. Now Hondas 4 Cylinders are GREAT engines.

[TheiPhoneGuyHD]

Chevy really stepped up their game in their styling into this Malibu. Looks so much better than the previous version.

[officialNickL]

looks good. Looks a little but like the cruze!

[mesul6an]

first



[codymovies]

@mesul6an look at the two idiots.

[mesul6an]
