It look to me like the wheelbase is longer or the driver is a midget , hard to tell , really ! The hood line definitely looks more sloped and perhaps will cause as much excitement as the 2014 Ford Fusion does . It is long overdue for the 2013 and 14 models had about as much sex appeal as a bowl of mashed potatoes . Not that mashed potatoes are bad , they are actually good especially for the 40 to 70 year olds whose teeth have seen better days . With a more streamlined proportioned design , it should titillate the young at heart . Please , though , enough of the bar across the grill , it has run its course and needs to be retired , soon . Chevrolet never resorted to this years ago and produced the sexiest looking vehicles seen by man or beasties . For the interior , please don't cover it in black vinyl/cloth . Black sucks the very light and life out of the interior making it feel smaller , less spacious . Lastly , before setting the interior in stone , get a hundred Americans of all shapes and sizes to get friendly with the interior .Have the 4 top selling cars for 2014 , in the USA to date , on the lot beside the disguised Malibu ....and not GM workers ! Get their reactions to the five vehicles and then treat them to a barbecue lunch on the tarmac nearby . That will be the best feedback you could derive , beating hands down that from 50 or more Chevrolet and head office managers and bean counters ! Use good quality materials and parts , , you want this car to be the benchmark for the top 5 and not the also ran , as the case now .
