Hasta La Gadget!

The Chevrolet Malibu is so important to GM’s future that it got a simultaneous debut at the 2011 New York and Shanghai auto shows this week. The next generation of Chevy’s midsize, best-selling  sedan arrives in 2012 as a 2013 model with four-cylinder engines only; no V6’s. Tech features include Chevrolet MyLink (like Ford Sync) with Pandora and Stitcher SmartRadio, lane departure warning, forward collision warning, and rear camera. There will be an ECO model with an estimated 38 mpg highway rating and, on some models, active grille shutters to reduce wind resistance.
