I love that the Malibu badge is on the doors, and that it's composed of separated letters. The car looks great both inside and out! Nice to see Emme Hall, as well, and someone needs to tell her she's got a wicked sense of style!
I just bought a '16 Malibu 1LT with a few options a month ago. I love it. I traded a '16 Camry SE with the Special Edition package for it. It was the best decision I have made in a car purchase. It's 200% better than the Camry. Reliability is to be seen, since it's only a month old. However, quality is better by far.
DigitalYojimbo Understandable. GM better hope previous owners of problem filled GM products have forgiven them.When it comes out of your own wallet for thousands in repairs, I don't see how that's possible. I made the mistake of buying a 1988 Chevy Beretta. I owned it for 12 expensive, repair-filled years. Engine block on the 2.8 V6 cracked for unknown reasons with just 5k left on the power-train. The turn signal lever even broke in half! Cheap crap!
It looks really good. I like it. All they need to make me a hybrid buyer, is a battery pack that lasts 200,000 miles. Right now once you hit about 90,000 miles, you need to stop driving it & start trying to sell or trade it in while the batteries still have 20 or 30 thousand miles left on them.
What is covering the top part of the left most climate control vent? 3:40 - 4:00 Seems like the low and high speed is that when driving in EV mode and not driving the fast, only the main motor will be spinning. But when you reach higher speeds, the smaller generator will come in too and spin also, thus the main motor RPM lowers so efficiency increases. When you need power, the generator disconnects and the main traction motor provides full power. This comes mostly or all from the VOLT not the 2-mode hybrid pickup trucks.. unless the drivetrain isn't that similar to the Volt but closer to the 2-mode hybrid pickup trucks that GM used to make.
carlos ortiz That's sad. I know by your name why that is. My friend Jose worked his way out of alphabet city to become a Pharm D (PHD pharmacist) and is also a MBA as a CPA. He is the head of Pharmaceutical Cancer Research at a hospital and earns over $155,000 per year and has made great investments, paid his mortgage off in 15 years. A few years ago he went into a Jaguar Dealer because he always wanted one and the salesman blew him off assuming that he couldn't afford it. He went down the street and bought a Porsche 911. Success is the best revenge! My friend is Puerto Rican. Most people who left the island for the mainland did so to seek better employment opportunities. Puerto Rican Americans now rank as the fifth most successful ethnic group in The United States. My friend Ilvan is the Director of Health Care Services at a University. He holds a Masters Degree and has a beautiful home and comes from a beautiful home as his parents were hard workers, It's time to get past the stereotypes.
"...two motor transmission has two modes - that's different from our competitors in this segment" Sure sounds like what Honda has in their hybrid (and not a bad solution at that). How is this one different?
I don't hate it but GM dropped the ball on something that should have NEVER been over looked. Side and rear profiles are GREAT.. BUT.. the front nose needs "a nose job" The huge grille doesn't leave much room on the front end for anything. If the grille was redesigned (smaller) the car would look SOO much better. PS.. WHY does GM put the SAME lights in the Malibu, Impala AND Camaro ?? You need to make your vehicles appear a little different from each other.
Well Mazda didn't knock my socks off so the Boo and Cruze will be up for a test drive . Wish chevy would send out 2016's for viewing. Notice it seems a bias keeps from a proper review , maybe someone over 65 needs a voice after all we buy a lot of cars. We remember what car used to be like. (440 ply stick with killer clutch and no pwr steering or pwr brakes)
A friend complained that the 15 Malibu was hard to get out of ,I though he meant the back seat. I went to buy one with my wife (stroke victim) and !crap! the front door jam is in front of the seat back so it is hard to turn to get out. The kick panel is very wide for some one who can't bend their leg ,seat is set back from out side edge with a lot of unprotected paint to scratch . Maybe your engineers could look at a FORD FUSION for a lesson in ergonomics. Well I'll put my money back in the bank and wait . Nah lots of other cars out there Mazda ,Kia, Nissan, Ford, Toyota. Quit trying to copy Jag's and build a car I "want to drive".
the outgoing model looks a lot better this front in says I am sad the outgoing model says I look aggressive this looks like a terrible stepchild version of the Chrysler 200
Gorgeous. Good handling. Easy to get in and out of. Comfortable. Reliable. Honda,Ford and Toyota sales reps please stop posting fake comments.

VERY, VERY impressive. The Chevy guy never looked at Emme's ballombas even once!

Willie M O'Neal I love mines! I'm so happy that I traded my 2013 in.
I like it! Haters are gonna hate good job GM!
👍👍👍👍true
Am I the only one who likes this design??
Jesus Christ For Christ's sake no. I like it too!
Jesus Christ nope i want one.
Jesus Christ God almighty! It definitely has style and flair. It has much of the Avalon/Camry look...especially from the back half.
No matter how much I like how a gm product looks like or drives, I will never buy one because of their piss poor customer service.

Imagine if they put the 2.0T in the Cruze!
awsome

Love the looks good job GM I AM GOING TO GET ME ONE.
Nice job Emmie! Looking forward to see the test drive and review on this and the CT6.
Bruce Solomon You will be able to get a plugin hybrid version of the CT6
Talked about everything except the price! D'oh
Em you're the best!
That looks awesome, the interior will have other colour options I'm sure. Overall, looks like a great car!
Very beautiful design .
I still want to know what the trunk looks like. Is it full of batteries?
I am going to tomorrow :)
Enjoy!

***** Agreed. I'll edit it. Mentioning their first names isn't so bad but not the exact places that they work.
It kinda looks like an Avalon from the front!
It looks beautiful. When does it make for China?
The red one looks like a bad copy of a Camry
I like it
Chevy has technology and stuff.
I like it! It's like a better looking Camry or Accord if I don't go with a Volt 2.0 I will probably take one of these.
When will GM put Hybrids in IT'S SUV'S ?
"...two motor transmission has two modes - that's different from our competitors in this segment" Sure sounds like what Honda has in their hybrid (and not a bad solution at that). How is this one different?
I did not understand anything about what you guys discussed regarding the transmission.
Love that Old 70's Porno Movie, intro music...
I just realized it has Bose speakers
Its beautiful ... But the previous version interior was a lot better and nice
the front is so ugly
***** I thought the same.
i don't know if I would call it ugly...its def different...maybe odd..?
looks like they squished the front and shoved in the tail lights of the impala

Ford had My Key way before Chevy's teen driver system.

+Sailor john OH yes a car that will clear the average curb or parking stop. What a bunch of idiots!
You`re inept is the problem. Not to mention being a Ford sales rep. Can you spell b-u-s-t-e-d?
Wow, this car looks like the ugly step child version of the Camry. The out going model looks better. No thanks Chevy.
Says the guy who likes the repulsive Lexus line.
Nothing repulsive about reliability and high resale value. You're probably not use to that if you own a GM product.
100percentGetDatCash exterior seems fine, interior is horrid
kirbyswarp Good for you. Although KBB may beg to differ. You can stop stalking me now.
100percentGetDatCash I'm not stalking you, I just read comments on TFLcar. And KBB is a stupid source that only idiots who drive Priuses trust.
this model looks like a chevelle, not a malibu.
Lol the teen performance limited should be funny. How much lower than 180 hp can u get
Hi
i just know Chevrolet cars just tear down as years pass by
I would stick to a Camry or an Audi A4
The price will get stupid quick. Good luck selling 350K.
I think it looks like a Chrysler
From the chevy website this car looks like a utility truck pod thing hybrid from the front. Not so attractive in a car :/
the outgoing model looks a lot better this front in says I am sad the outgoing model says I look aggressive this looks like a terrible stepchild version of the Chrysler 200
It looks cheap and nasty really
Ricky Julian just like your mom
Yo TF
Shooosh little boy.
Ricky Julian same thing i tell your mom
Yo TF Meh.
Ricky Julian I thought so too initially, but now when I look at this new 2016 I want to trade in my 2013!
The front end is horrible looking... the rest of the exterior looks like a smaller impala and the cars it looks like (last gen sonata rear)
It looks too much like a Impala.
t It says everything you ever wanted to know, I call BS
Lmao it looks like a terrible Camry
48 mpg ???? Lol
Chevrolet died... what ever they are going to do , it sucks , after 5 years
ugly and please GM stop comparing your car to Honda Accord Honda Accords never break, but Malibu's do I know this from first hand experience
cedric-total lies.
You drive a Pinto dummy
Chevy should just go away.
Douchebag
that interior looks dated. its like a 2001 model interior lol
Eww hybrid
dodgerammv10 Porsche 918 is a hybrid...
Ryan Frizell That is a different story
