All-new Chevy Malibu
Most anticipated new '08 sedan?

About the all-new Chevy Malibu, Automobile magazine says, "If last year's make-or-break vehicle for Chevy was the Silverado pickup, this year's is the all-new Malibu Sedan. . . . This is GM's Toyota Camry, its Honda Accord. Fortunately, the Malibu promises to be a vastly superior car to its predecessor and a worthy competitor to those class leaders."

What consumers and car lovers say when they see Malibu at this year's Seattle International Auto Show, Oct. 31-Nov. 4 at Qwest Field Event Center? The show, presented by State Farm and also sponsored by AutoTrader.com, is the Northwest's largest and most important annual automotive event, featuring hundreds of all-new 2008 model year cars, trucks, crossovers, alternative-fuel, minivans, sport utilities and 4WD vehicles from every major automaker, plus one-of-a-kind concepts and extremely rare exotics and classics.

The all-new 2008 Chevrolet Malibu delivers great performance, fuel economy and refinement, wrapped in a clean, tailored design that carries the global face of Chevrolet. A broad range of detailed, well-appointed and efficient models is offered, including a fuel-saving Malibu Hybrid model.

"The 2008 Malibu rewrites Chevrolet's midsize car strategy, offering a stylish, uncompromising package that stacks up against the most popular competitors," said Ed Peper, Chevrolet general manager. "We know the competition is very good, and this new Malibu has the goods – both tangible and intangible – to assert a leadership position in the segment and re-affirm Chevrolet's commitment to expressive cars."

The new Malibu is based on GM's global midsize platform, which serves as the foundation for a strong body structure, precise build quality and refined driving dynamics. It is more than three inches longer than the current model, with a six-inch-longer wheelbase. These proportions create a wheels-at-the-corners stance that enables a smoother, more direct driving experience.
With its strong stance and bold proportions, the 2008 Malibu has a profile that reinforces its substantial feel. Clean, pure lines and wheels pushed to the corners, as well as a visually lower, yet longer, greenhouse and a shorter deck suggest motion, agility and attitude. The body sides are clean and elegant, interrupted only by distinctive, wheel-oriented forms that communicate an aggressive, stable stance and a rear profile with Corvette cues that connects to Chevrolet's rich performance heritage.

The interior's attention to detail matches the Malibu's exterior, with an ergonomic design using premium materials that convey quality and value. The integrated, flowing instrument panel features a Chevrolet-signature dual-cockpit design, with prominent gauges backlit in blue, and metallic or wood grain accents.
