Default new malibu in 2013... 38mpg

This looks pretty cool for Chevy. The Malibu is cool on the inside but a lot of people, including myself, can't get past the award design of the body and rear lights. They have improved the design for 2013. Everything looks better in and out. No more awkwardness.

The eco package is expected to achieve 38mpg which will keep it in the lead for fuel economy. There are some technologies I don't quite understand like the battery powered braking system??? Sounds like more **** that will keep mechanics employed. Lol

This is a good article on it.

I actually like the current body style, this new one looks bloated

body lines look the same with just refaced front and rear fascias.

I just sold my 2010 ltz v6 and was pleased with the ride/comfort for the price that I paid for it.

I wouldn't mind a car again for the fuel economy, but having a truck is so damn convenient, would be hard to go back to a car.
