2013 Chevy Malibu

Seth Fletcher

The next iteration of the Chevy Malibu will go on sale next year, and the emphasis will be on efficiency. Gone is the option of a V-6. In is a 2.5-liter 4 cylinder that produces 190 horsepower. The most interesting variant is the Eco model, which will use GM’s eAssist hybrid technology—in which a small lithium-ion battery and a 15hp electric motor give the Malibu’s 2.4-liter turbocharged gas engine regular breaks—to get up to 38 mpg on the highway. GM says the Eco will be the “most fuel efficient Malibu ever.”

I love that the (Back) picture of the A7 shows more of the backside of the model than it does the car...

NOT ONE of these cars is aerodynamic, even passively. Oh yes, there is such a thing as active aerodynamics, too, squirt that jet of air forward! Why these simpletons fail, fail, fail, and fail to create aerodynamic automobiles is why we import oil instead of exporting it. Enclose those wheel wells, boys! Ladies, get a boat tail on those rolling things, slick up the body and its underside as well. Just bend the metal better and viola!

The new beetle is baaaad, love the beefier, lower, hotter profile and stance. The new People Wagon is here and I want it!

Why do they even bother to make "concepts"? Don't tell me it's to test the look of an automobile, the final product never resembles a "concept" vehicle even slightly, it's a waste.
