Chevy Prepares Next Generation Malibu Reveal
The U.S. press will see it a few days later during the media preview for the New York International Auto Show. The new Malibu will be labeled a 2013 model year, meaning it can’t be sold until at least Jan. 1, 2012. We’d expect sales to start in the first half of 2012.
The images above and below are of the design study for this sedan.

It looks to be a nearly complete rendering. We’d guess that the large wheels are the only exaggerated element.

Watch the video and see the designer elaborate on how he used elements from the new Camaro in the design.

While not a breathtaking design, these early glimpses show an improved Malibu from what’s currently on sale. But will it be as hot a seller as the new Equinox crossover?
