The GM Authority Take
We imagine that the notable growth is attributable to customers being attracted to the all-new, 2016 Chevy Malibu, which brings an all-new design inside and out, more interior room, improved fuel economy, new technologies, and various other improvements.
We should also note that the vehicle began shipping to dealers late 2015. As such, the Malibu’s February sales results seem to exemplify the fact that new models need a month or two (or three) to spin up from a sales standpoint, as also seen with Chevy Volt sales, which shot up significantly in February, and with Chevy Camaro sales, which experienced a slight drop during the month.

It is great news that the new Malibu is now GM’s best selling sedan, and has passed the Equinox in units sold. Now, where is the Hybrid Malibu?
the exterior and everything is bold…but it still has the giant A-pillars…thats the thing I would never fall in love with fat pillars….with the Camaro it still has the rediculesly high beltline and as will thick A-pillars…..these are the thing I will never fall in love with..fat pillars and high beltlines.
Welcome to Government safety regulations.
The A pillars are thick for roll-over resistance and support the cabin section in a head-on collision. It must be stronger than the frontal crumple zones.
The High beltline is a styling necessity because the front hood is required to have a minimum space from the underside components to limit pedestrian injury in auto/human accidents. The beltline flows from the hood line for a fluid look. The higher beltline is also stronger in side impact testing.
I don’t know of any modern examples that have as good of a crash rating without thick A-pillars or a high beltline.
Hey DJ, you are wasting your time.
rye Shelton continuously posts about cosmetic looks of all these automobiles. it’s the only thing he actually posts about and he continuously repeats himself.
I think that’s why I doen’t like todays cars….I wonder when pillars will go thin again…. and I don’t think the new Malibu has a high beltline.
Rye all that and yet the Camaro still looks better than most cars!
