If they had said that a V8 was coming for this car even if it was a LSx 5.3 I would not be bitching... I would be saying haleluya!

I for one (and there are a bunch more) who have been BEGGING for information (and a picture) of this car.

This press release tells us NOTHING... and thats what I'm bitching about.

And if there was a picture and GMI put it in the top right corner, but it doesn't hit the show room for 3 years then everyone would be bitching. That's what K-1 is bitching about.

I don't see what's so great about that car. The current CC is a looker, though.

Ya, same here. That sketch should not have the 'Bu shakin in its boots. The CC does look good.

Funny, VW has a sketch of a car that will arrive in a year's time but GM has nothing that is 2 years out and it's outrageous...

Re: GM 2012: Future cars

I can't wait to see these new cars roll out, GM still has some older models that need to be cleaned out. They didn't mention anything about the Impala did they?

I can't really tell you more than has been released...

It will start at $20K and be available with a stick, lots of cupholders and...a turbo diesel. I bet it will be fun to drive.

More importantly - VW can currently do something GM can not: Offer competitive leasing.

Let's hope the new Malibu can be better in that department. It would really increase the selling rate.

Re: GM 2012: Future cars

the sketch from VW looks like a sketch.....nothing to see here folks.
Can GM put the 6speed Getreg in the NG Malibu?
seems like they could but I bet they would sit and rot for the most part. Not a huge demand for Manual gearbox that I here.

That would be a funny response if the car weren't in such a sad situation. It is so sad I can't even laugh. If they had something new (on a new platform) coming out next fall I'd feel pretty good but it just seems they don't know what they are doing or when it will get done.
