fucking stupid. they had those atrociously boring tail lights, didn't know what to do with it, so put camaro tail lights. W.T.F. center console is stupid and what's with the hidden compartment behind the touch screen? a place to hide your drugs? chevy has THE worst lineup among American car companies, except for the camaro and the corvette.
@Tom15452 You sir are a giant fucking idiot. You are now not entitled to have an opinion seeing as that poor excuse of an opinion you have now is absolute bullshit.
I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
No V-6 option 4 cylinders across the board, there is talk about a turbo but nothing official. Sorry if it had a turbo with over 200hp ya maybe its worth buying. Chevy you are going back in time again people want a lil get-up an go to here.. Styling is ok but I guess we'll see. Chevy still is and under dog when it comes to cars. Working for GM for a ton of years and cars are a little on the grammy side people want sporty. I hope the squeaks and rattles have gone away.
The main issue with American cars in general is reliability especially GM. GM must learn from Honda and Toyota. In term of comfort, style and performance i would choose an American car over million Asian cars, but after the Hassel, the frustration, expensive maintenance and no mercy stealerships i would choose a Toyota because at least i have something which more interesting than everything else which is 'TRUST'
ok so i dont want to hear any shit about how the interior sucks when this car is actually released...he said the materials are really nice...the dude from insideline went as far to say that the interior was better than the buick regal's...imo the current malibu has a nice interior, yet its gets bashed while the camry is praised and its interior is nothing short of atrocious
@lakerskid2013 - Yes they are making the Malibu for 2012, its virtually unchanged, they got rid of red jewel, and a few other options but added 3LT and 2LZ trim levels.
the front looks like a mercedes, the back is more chevrolet camero. i like it, even if it has become a poor man's mercedes now. it should have been a poor man's CTS.
Somehow, I'd rather have a turbo 1.5 Ecotec over whatever generic V6 they'd put in it. I use to hate the idea of no V6 in the 'bu. But, I am growing fond of it.
I'm not crazy about the exterior but it is light years ahead of the Accord and Camry. And as improved as the interior may be, it comes off a little cheap. Could they seriously not think of a better place to put a cubby than behind a screen with a huuge latch in front. I don't know things like that bother me. That screen also seems like it

Could they seriously not think of a better place to put a cubby than behind a screen with a huuge latch in front. I don't know things like that bother me. That screen also seems like it would break
Now, this is something I would actually buy. Great looking cars like this, and made in America? Does it really get any better? This is what GM can do when they actually try. I feel like I am dreaming....
Way too much going on in the interior for my liking... it basically included everything trendy in every color from the last decade- I mean piano black finish, chrome, and wood grain?
I'm not convinced about the "really nice quality materials" in the interior. After all this is still a one-of-a-kind, handbuilt showcar and not the real production version. And I unfortunately highly doubt that the actual production car will have an interior as good as this one...
@FAB12UCB Wow what if the world doesn't end its negative thinking that drives us to believe anything don't think that way think positively and don't reply with bull crap well you don't know what your talking about
@FAB12UCB The world will not end in 2012. The only reason the Mayan calendar "ends" is some doofus or doofuses mistakenly dragged the calendar maker to the top of their temple for human sacrifice to the gods. When they realized their error, they had already held his still-beating heart in their hands and his body was on its way to Cenote Sagrado, or the "Well of Sacrifice". Kind of sad, really.
@FAB12UCB no the world is not about to end in 2012.Man don't know the day nor hour so stop trying to do gods work and just enjoy your life while you have one.
@FAB12UCB I CANT WAIT UNTIL 2012 HITS AND WE ARE STILL ALIVE AND WELL...YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO FEEL SO STUPID..ITS NOT YOUR FAULT THOUGH...YOUR JUST REALLY GULLIBLE AND WILL BELIEVE ANYTHING...LOL.. #the world will NEVER "END"
@FAB12UCB no one knows when the earth will end god gives us signals but we dont know exactly. p.s. they said the earth would in in 2000 but were still here.
i liked the simplicity of the previous model and the sculpt of the roof line. but this a really nice improvment over the 08 redesign. the tail lights will really make it stand out thats for sure :)
