Dang! Based on what they have shown it looks good... it looks muscular.

There was already a thread created in general automotive & other cars.

Moved and merged

Wow, that looks really promising, for the segment it competes in. Very nice GM!

AZCamaroFan · 03-31-2011, 03:12 PM

not sure why they show it this soon., seems like people would think the current one is old and wait for the next one. current one should sell better. it's nice

Is Elton John the new tail light designer?

Maybe they will heavily rework it for the Malibu? i know this is where everyone is going (the sonata, optima, and the next fusion), but I like my torquey 6 cylinders.

The 2.0T is undergoing a massive rework for the Regal and presumably Malibu. More power, better efficiency, etc.

Newp. 2012 Malibu will have a short model year run, then most likely transition over to Classic like Malibus before it. This EpII Malibu will be in production either by the end of this year or beginning of next.

The majority of Americans will be clueless when this thing debuts. They'll only notice when GM starts advertising it or when they see one on the road.

This could be a win...

The rear kinda looks like a Kia Forte Koup and a Camaro merged together. Front reminds me a lot of the Cruze. Looks promising though.

G8 GTs running 40Kish sticker back in '08.. yeouch. GM is planning too much good s**t down the pipe. Pity Ford Australia is going Taurus on the Falcon in '16-17.

EDIT: That is if I don't wind up just shipping out to Australia for work overseas (wherein I can get an HSV and not worry about snow.

)

40 grand for a GT? How many options was that with? MSRP was about 30k for the GT. Unless maybe you were thinking about the GXP?
