Saw a 2013 Malibu for real today
Wife and I were on vacation in south Florida hanging out at Roger Dean Stadium today watching my St. Louis Cardinals HAMMER the Detroit Tigers today...
And during the game, they were advertising the 2013 Malibu from Roger Dean Chevrolet and actually drove one around the field today. I have to say, in person it looks a WHOLE lot better than the pictures. Still has this Camaro-esque taillights, but overall, it appears to be a very nicely designed car. It also loosely reminded me it was flavored with CTS DNA somewhat as well. Not directly, but there were a few cues. It's not for me, but with 37 mpg and fairly good looks for a sedan, I think Chevy is on the right track for the jelly bean crowd. Never thought I'd say that about a sedan, but if you know anyone in the market for a small family car, I'd at least have the new Malibu on the list to check out and see if it fits the bill.

I think they look best in class inside and out. They drive nicely too and are high quality.

We took a test drive in one of these Malibu Eco last weekend. Very nice family sedan at right around $30k (fully loaded). Were wondering if the <200HP 2.4l would be adequate, but come away pleasantly surprised. Not up to CTS or Lacrosse's interior, but very nice indeed. Thinking about trading in wife's '05 STS for one of these.

The current design competes and looks very well. I think the 2013 model builds on the last one and its a winner.
