mild hybrids as of now is just lip service... 2 mpg for an extra $2,000 - that just makes people feel better because they have the word hybrid slapped on the car - what a joke
now when the plug in hybrids hit the road... now were talking.
It's a "mild hybrid" that does nothing more than shut the engine off at stoplights, which is basically a worthless $2000 option because anyone with an ignition key(and preferably a voltmeter)can do the same thing. The extra gas injected on startup and the load on the alternator equals about 10 seconds of idling, which is basically the same as this vehicle when you idle long enough to actually affect your mileage. GM *is* selling actual hybrids(50 grand SUVs only), but this car is pure greenwash.
what is the point of chevy hybrid? it sucks. toyota prius gets like 60mpg, honda civic 50?, ford escape (suv) 34mpg in town and is actually rated as quick as the v6 gas model.
its a hybrid fail...

2mpg more than regular malibu dumb fucks
get a regular malibu remove the rear seat and spare tire to save weight and you get higher mileage than the highbrid version
dumb idiots

The malibu hybrid is nicer looking than most hybrids, but 2 mpg better than the regular 4 cylinder is pretty pathetic.

Every little bit helps when gas is $4+ a gallon. Plus, it helps mainly in city driving, not highway driving.

I don't think the small increase in gas mileage warrants the creation of the hybrid...

My dad bought a Camry Hybrid, & it gets 31.5 mpg; but the car is a little weak...about 30 percent of the time; other times it's okay.

Why even offer a Hybrid if your going to make a better one next year then people will hold off for next years model.

it's a good start but a poor attempt at making a hybrid with only +2mpg increase over the regular gasoline model.
