My last news update I was told that GM will introduce a new generation of Malibu.
If GM doesn't solidify and get a better hold on the automotive field, they will pin themselves in a worse hole than ford, with solely relying on the truck market. The truck market is lucrative, but without any other notable product it will further erode GM's reputation of being a competitive automotive corporation.
Edit: I saw the article by NYTimes online, so the rumor is basically true. The EVs I feel will be less than successful. At any rate, I wish Chevrolet well. The company will be in store for hard times. Honda Accord, Civics; Toyota Camry and Corolla are still selling. I'm not even mentioning Hyundai and Kia. Something is terribly wrong with GM's vision. On the one hand, the Malibu nameplate is very old, so it isn't such a bad decision to retire it for something new. On the other hand, continuing to ignore the sedan and alternate car markets seems to be quite unwise, especially since there has been a marked kickback rejection of EVs. This will mean that besides the trucks, the market will continue to be lucrative for Civic, Accord and Camry. I feel that this was a poor decision.
