What the Chevrolet sedan will be called is anybody's guess. That may be where the Malibu rumors are coming from.

Actually this thing keeps moving. A lot has changed since August (my quoted post above)

What we KNOW:
  • There will be a next gen CT5 built on Alpha2. Alpha2 might receive some updates / upgrades.
  • There will be a Chevrolet sedan built on Alpha2 alongside the CT5.
  • Both the CT5 and the Chevrolet sedan will have a manual transmission option.
  • There will be a GM EV sedan.

What we are not sure of:
  • No confirmation on what the Alpha2 will be called. Could be Malibu. Could be Impala. Could be Camaro. Could be something completely different.
  • What brand or nameplate the GM EV Sedan will be. It could be the long rumored Buick Wildcat (or Electra?). It could be a Cadillac, since Cadillac already has all the EV SUV spaces covered, they may have room for a sedan. Could be a Chevrolet. If the Alpha2 car is Impala, EV could be Malibu. Or vice versa. Or either configuration (Alpha2 or EV) could be Camaro.
