A new report confirms that GM will end production of the Chevy Malibu this fall at the GM Fairfax Assembly plant in Kansas. The decision will make way for production of the next-generation all-electric Chevy Bolt EV. The next-generation Chevy Malibu is expected to launch around the 2026 or 2027 model year.
As reported by The Detroit News, GM spokesperson Kevin Kelly confirmed in a statement that production of the ninth-generation Chevy Malibu was set to end later this year.
“To facilitate the installation of tooling and other plant modifications, after nine-generations and over 10 million global sales, GM will end production of the Chevrolet Malibu in November 2024 and pause production of the Cadillac XT4 after January 2025,” Kelly said.
Following the production pause next January, the Fairfax plant will undergo a retooling process in preparation to build both the Chevy Bolt EV and Cadillac XT4 on the same assembly line, a move expected to provide GM with the flexibility needed to quickly respond to customer demand. Kelly added that the production pause will result in employee layoffs until production resumes for affected employees, and that affected employees “will be supported according to the provisions of the UAW-GM agreement,” citing an agreement reached between the automaker and the United Auto Workers labor union.
At present, the ninth-generation Chevy Malibu is expected to have one final model year for 2025 before it sunsets. In addition, GM is expected to launch an all-new, next-generation Malibu in time for a debut for the 2026 or 2027 model year.
This production shift aligns with GM’s broader vision of accelerating EV manufacturing. The new Chevy Bolt EV will utilize GM’s Ultium platform, replacing the previous-generation Bolt that was built at the GM Orion Assembly plant. Production of the previous-generation Bolt came to a close in December of 2023, while in November of 2023, GM committed to investing $391 million to produce new electric vehicles at the Fairfax facility, per an agreement between GM and the UAW.

I sure hope your reporting here is the correct version and not what another site just reported. According to the other site, the spokes person for GM/Chevy told them the Malibu was being discontinued and they made it sound like no replacement would come after it. Instead, concentrating on SUV/CUV’s and allowing the new Bolt to be produced in that plant.
The article here seems to imply that GM/Chevy will have a next gen Malibu sedan coming out the following year. I sure hope this is the correct version.
I think this article is wrong, and all the other several articles are correct in reporting the Malibu’s death. GM Authority didn’t quote any GM officials saying the Malibu will survive; it that were true then I think GM would have issued a more explicit statement to that effect. We also haven’t seen any teaser photos of a new Malibu, so the preponderance of the evidence suggest the car is history. Sad!
It’s entirely possible that there could be a new Malibu exclusive to China, for example. Or, they could change their mind like with the Bolt. But the official statement “after nine-generations and over 10 million global sales, GM will end production of the Chevrolet Malibu in November 2024” really makes it sound like it’s over.
MaryJoe will be forever known as the CEO who turned GM into GENERIC Motors. Boring!
It is such a shame, GM used to build cool fun vehicles, now all that’s left is the Corvette and lots of boring generic Crossovers. I will admit that I have been building Broncos on the Ford site since GM refuses to compete with Bronco or Jeep Wrangler. I might end up with a Bronco sharing the driveway with my Silverado.
@Paul
You mean the same CEO that finally approved a mid engine Vette?
That’s one niche vehicle not for the average guy. GM used to build cool stuff for all
@Paul
What cool stuff does GM not build anymore?
They have every type of off road vehicle imaginable.
Any Truck and SUV you can think of.
They always had the absolute worse Sedans in the Industry and people are shocked they stopped making them?
We love our 2014 Impala. The v6 engine gets 32+ MPG on the highway, 140,000 miles, never had a problem. Especially like the large trunk, much larger than the Malibu. But, figured our next vehicle would probably be a Malibu. Now, I guess not. Too bad.
You mean off road vehicles like a Wrangler or Bronco competitor? Or a off road midsize vehicle like the Jeep Grand Cherokee?
No one has ever accused the Malibu of being cool or fun during the entirety of its rebirth.
I personally like the front engine Vette better as do many others I talk to.
Yeah the same one that deserted the average customer. Clueless in Mary’s Motown. There used to be a car for everybody from GM divisions. Now the customers go buy a Hyundai or Toyota. That’s not a great sucess.
Building a limited number of corvettes is not a company that will survive. Replace Mary with Waggoner.
How quickly people forget GM’s North American product during the 80s, 90s, and 2000s.
I remember the DeVilles, Fleetwoods, Eldorados, Camaros, Caprices, Monte Carlos, S-10s, K5 Blazers, BOF Trailblazers, S15s, Jimmys, Envoys, 98s, 88s, Cutlass Supremes, Regals, LeSabres, Electra’s, Rivieras, Skylarks, Bonnevilles, Parisians, Grand Ams, Grand Prix s, and Trans Ams well. I would have considered any of these GM vehicles at the time. Now there’s but 3 or 4 GM vehicles I would remotely consider.
Or Junior Motors.
BR849
Same here ! The conflicting evidence just isnt adding up ! But hopefully they will continue making them ! Im so sick of everything being a SUV !
Like Ford is doing with the Edge, here comes another ICE discontinuation to make room for another EV that few will want. Brilliant.
More like another sedan bites the dust. If you want a sedan from GM, it’s going to be a Cadillac.
That’s right, focusing money on Korean made trax as their cheap car. Major customers for the Malibu wasn’t individual owners and instead businesses and rental fleets. They must be shifting towards the trax and trailblazer.
Only problem is that you can get a Malibu after incentives and dealer discounts for less than a Trax or TB. Trax and TB make less sense when you see that often higher priced competitive CUVs can be had for less out the door. Granted, many folks don’t look that far…blinded by the low Trax sticker.
No surprise from the company that dropped Pontiac. General Motors is now truly Genetic Motors. Sad. After 60 years I no longer will own a GM vehicle. Welcome KIA 2025 K-5.
I buy a used Ford every 16 years and that gives me the right to make decisions for both Ford and GM.
I remember the DeVilles, Fleetwoods, Eldorados, Camaros, Caprices, Monte Carlos, S-10s, K5 Blazers, BOF Trailblazers, S15s, Jimmys, Envoys, 98s, 88s, Cutlass Supremes, Regals, LeSabres, Electra’s, Rivieras, Skylarks, Bonnevilles, Parisians, Grand Ams, Grand Prix s, and Trans Ams well.

Dear MS Barra:
Thanks for handing us even more of your market share.
Sincerely,
Kia, Hyundai, Toyota, and Honda.
Except their market share is shrinking.
Remember that big boom they were all supposed to get when Ford discontinued the Fusion? Didn’t happen. Camry sales are half what they were when Fusion production ended. The rest are no better. They’re all a shadow of what they were 5-10 years ago. The Ford Maverick is outselling the Honda Accord, not to mention Sonata and Optima (which are just dwindling, honestly).
Ford remained the best selling brand last year, so much for you need sedans to survive.
The big beneficiary of the Fusion being discontinued was the Malibu. Folks that buy Malibus or Fusions don’t generally buy Camrys and Accords.
Maybe this will give Ford incentive to bring the Fusion back to NA.
Except for the fact that they still sell them, retain overall market share, and make money on each one.
Yea, the Camry sold nearly 300,000 vehicles in the US alone last year (#8 in top vehicle sales) and the Accord nearly 200,000 vehicles. Add China where they each sell another 220,000-250,000 units and they’ve got a good reason to continue to manufacture and sell midsize sedans.
They do pretty well with compacts too (232,000 Corolla’s and 200,000 Civics sold last year in the US).
Actually, even Hyundai Sonata/K5 are rumored to be axed so really only Honda Accord and Toyota Camry left. You can see in the sales figures, Sonata K5 dropped like stone while Accord and Camry held consistent sales
That’s for a different reason. HKG is focusing WAY too much on EVs and is diverting production capacity away from the Sonata/K5 to EVs. They only sold 333 K5s in April for that very reason. Which also leads to outrageous asking prices for HKG ICEs.
I also forgot to mention K5 is already dead in Canada
This is the only site that is reporting a return of the Malibu and I’m beginning to believe them and not this one.
The 50+ mpg Camry thanks GM for its short sighted stupidity.
Please don’t let the Malibu die, it is the best sedan in the USA! My father had Malibu and he loved it! Chevrolet needs to continue with a new generation of this great car! It’s all the fault of the people who buy SUVs and electric cars! It is missing systems such as MagnerideControl, ADAS, 10-speed transmission and two engine options: 2.5 Turbo with 317 hp and a 1.5 Turbo with 200 hp and velor or suede seats. Please Mary bsrra and Gebte from the USA to defend the Malibu!
I bought a ’17 Fusion instead of a Malibu because I couldn’t stand this generation of Malibu. Tiny windows, too swoopy for easy entrance/exit…
Sorry for your Ford purchase.
Most likely gen 11 Malibu will be an import from SK/CCP
Having owned four Malibus (and currently own a 2023 model), if it is true that there is no replacement, then I have bought my last Chevrolet.
Butt Head Barra strikes again. There always is more room in a decent sized sedan that a suv. I always laugh going down the road and seeing a suv with a rack in the hitch and there stuff getting wet out back. A nice big trunk or a station wagon, ALWAYS a better option and better mpg.
I own a 2022 Malibu Premier 2.0T, and it’s looking like my last Chevy as well. I owned two Chevy Impalas, then two Buick LaCrosses, and came back to Chevy because Buick stopped making sedans. I was kind of hoping they’d replace it with a plug-in hybrid version with all-wheel drive. Time to look elsewhere for my next sedan, I guess.
Chevy did say that there would be a new Malibu in 2025 year but have not seen anything more on it. Sales have been good I think better then they thought they would. I know EV sales been really bad on verge of breaking them. I saw in one article that Chevy bring Plug in Hybrids back to the US. I also that the Forign automakers have us beat on EV production. The US auto industry is backing EVs If Trump wins they lose all backing from US Government on the EVs. I hope that this article is right and Chevy brings the Malibu sedan back as a Gas, Hybrid and even a EV. If not my last Malibu may be my last Chevy. I will not that the new Chevy EV that are Cross overs look like sedans.
I think that statement will be similar to VW and Hyundai’s promises to bring back physical buttons. They just say things without following through.
Goodbye, GM…hello Imports!
I would rather see goodbye to Mary Buick Envision Made in China-Barra and her policy of eliminating budget models and replacing them with more expensive models.
So now that the Camaro and the Malibu are officially dead after this year, what is Chevrolet going to run in NASCAR™ next year? There are no cars left. It would be weird seeing the Blazer or the Corvette decals on the “stock” car template.
Maybe the race series needs to change their name from NASCAR to NASSUVAR. Or maybe NASCUVAR.
Or maybe Chevrolet will have to bow out and Cadillac can take their place.
Would make sense to simply race a “Chevrolet” like they do in Indycar.
What’s on the track hasn’t been remotely stock since the 1980’s so maybe finally time to stop pretending.
The Malibu still outsells all GM EVs combined.
Malibu – 150,000
GM EVs -75,000
All this illustrates just how bad GM EVs really are. Time for Barra to leave.
I wish she would explan how she plans on selling five plants’ worth of EVs when the current sales are about a third of a typical plant’s output.
Andrew: Why just point out EV’s? The Malibu outsells nearly EVERY freaking SUV/CUV other than the Equinox. But hey, let’s add a few more SUV/CUV’s to the massive lineup and kill the sedan that is selling even with ZERO advertisement.
Bottom line is that GM and Ford don’t want to offer or sell sedans. They want to sell the boxes that give you less for more money. Win-win for them. Loser for us.
dang, even toyota sold 110K+ EV last year. How did GM get overtaken by an automaker known to be a latecomer and do not even fully embrace EVs?
This shows what a lousy CEO, Mary Buick Envision Made in China-Barra is.
Ms Barra and her followers are taking the company in places that their future products are not yet ready for. She needs to take one across the country and then she will get an understanding of what the market is ready for. I do not understand their strategy. A good move to EVs would have been to do them as Plug in Hybrids similar to the Volt and progress from there if the market and infrastructure allows for. Some how the GM Board of Directors seems to be closed minded on what is really going on and even more so that General Motors needs to make profits and not just appease Government mandates that change by the month.
Not going to happen. gm and its board of directors are more interested in being “woke” than “waking up” and examining the needs and wants of its customers.
80-90k are fleet sales tho
This is no surprise per Mary Buick Envision Made in China-Barra’s policy of eliminating budget models and replacing them with more expensive models. Eventually all Chevrolets will be unaffordable to 80% of the public.
Bottom line is you need to offer a car. This is one of the reasons why the consumer has no choice but to resort to an import, as there are limited to no domestic car offerings. Stupid. Personally, I would rather ride my old American bicycle than drive a rice burner sedan.
I guess this is the sign that Barra needs to step down for good. She has no soul like most of their lineup especially Evs. She doesn’t care about performance, hybrids and budget yet simple sedans.
Besides, during her tenure carplay is dead, interiors cheaper than every competitor, least powerful engines ever, most problematic new cars (esp. EVs) ever in GM’s history, worst build quality ever seen on new GM cars, worst software ever.
All she cares about is the fat cheques at the end of the year and is k!lling GM slowly.
The market is moving away from EVs yet she somehow k!lls good selling cars (w/o ads) for more EVS.
Lets break this down shall we?
The Camaro didn’t sell so it was axed (thank the people) and instead funded the highest performing Corvette ever with tons or new models and huge power on a mid engine platform. Gee, thanks Mary for going at Ferrari for a 1/4 the cost!
Hybrids are coming back. Sedans aren’t selling and I can see why, so why put money in something that will be losing sales so a few elders can be happy they haven’t switched in their way? I would gladly give up a few mpg (seriously, look at a CUV vs Sedan in the same class, it isn’t a huge mpg savings) for more utility, better view, slightly worse handling and more comfortable ingress and egress.
Carplay is still around, they are pivoting away with EV’s.
Interiors are cheaper? Have you been in most any late model GM vehicle lately? The trucks for example are now at or towards the top of the class. The new Traverse is looking real good, Chevy gets designed more for ruggedness, it will appear different than a brand more model that is trying to go after a more luxury interior (Mazda).
Least powerful engines ever? So the Colorado being top of the class, the new Traverse being top of the class excluding Hybrids, trucks still offering powerful V8’s, EV’s that have great power and lets not forget the Corvette and Cadillac engines; yup, least powerful ever, or did you mean most?
All the quality reports are putting GM mid to top of the pack. Their software has been praised in reviews and is one of the better ones. Seriously, this is just a troll post. Would love to know which brands flag you have hung in your toilet closet to stare at while making a grumpy.
She leads GM, she cares about profitability, they don’t make money selling 40k or a unique vehicle. GM is in a much better financial position than the other American automakers. Yes she jumped in the EV crazy, but news flash, all brands did from full blown luxury like Bentley & Mercedes to entry level Kia and Ford and everyone is pulling back, it wasn’t just her. Would have been nice had she taken a more Toyota approach and this is the best overall stop gap but i’ll digress. Either way, there is so much wrong with your statement I hope this keeps the clueless that read it from actually picking up what you’re putting down.
TMI: Let’s correct a couple of your break-downs shall we?
Sedans don’t sell: Really? Care to expand on the roughly 4 million cars (sedans, coupes, convertibles) sold in the US alone last year?
Camaro didn’t sell: It did. Just not in high volume. Was it ever supposed to? When did the auto industry get to the point where they can’t keep a model unless it sells 200,000 or more units per year?
Interiors are cheaper? Yes. Even on the nicest products GM and all other sell today, you get few color choices and door panels are junk. Nothing buy hard black plastic. Want to see a quality interior? I’ll gladly show you my Cadillac Seville.
EV’s are the future. Like it or not, they are. People can fight it and complain about it. They really messed up on bringing the joke Hummers and a 340 grand Cadillac out. What they should have done is applied that R & D and money towards the EV’s that are selling and will be selling in much higher numbers.
The only reason GM has been so profitable in recent years has been Covid and the price gouging that occured because of “shortages” it created.
GM net income: 2015 $9.7B. 2016 $9.4B. 2017 $-3.9B. 2018 $7.9B. 2019 $6.5B. 2020 $6.2B. 2021 $9.8B. 2022 $8.9B. 2023 $10B.
Other than 2017 where they had two huge charges related to tax reform and divesting Opel/Vauxhall, GM has had huge profits throughout Barra’s tenure, not just post-COVID. A quick internet search is all it takes to not be talking out of your…
Really? Per your stats gm’s biggest net income were the years immediately after Covid- you know the years of “supply chain issues” and “dealer shortages”?
Plus GM is #1 in market share for light duty pickups, compact SUVs, full size SUVS and luxury SUVs.
And in 2023, GM was #1 in total vehicles sold in America:
2,582,491 GM
2,225,767 Toyota
1,961,935 Ford
Byers collectively determine a company’s success, and they have voted with the wallets and purses for GM.
gm does not make a true compact SUV. The front-wheel-drive based ‘SUVs” you are referring to are categorized as crossovers.
GM will eventually be surpassed by Toyota on their own turf, GM sells very few cars on Toyota’s turf (Japan)
Okay let’s start with the performance.
1) If Mustang can live why not Camaro?
Camaro is gone because GM left it for d3@d. Dodge brought back the charger and Mustang got a redesign, why can’t GM make a better Camaro that will sell and fix it’s controversial styling and visibility. They got the best Alpha platform.
If Cadillac rivals the Germans why put lipstick on a p!g and bring underpowered ec0nob0xes to measure up? Do you think XTs rival Germans? SUVs are the one’s that sell not the CTs.
2) where’s the high performance Silverado that rivals Raptor and TRX? Where’s the Bronco (and Bronco Raptor) competitor?
2.3l Ranger beat 2.7t Colorado in a drag race, p@th3t!c and Ranger has optional V6 and 3.0TT V6, where’s the Colorado’s? Even Tacoma in Hybrid disguise is more powerful.
Where’s the Cadillac Supercar?
Where are the high performance Buicks and GMCs (excluding Chevy).
Where are the affordable performance cars for enthusiasts who can’t afford a Corvette?
3) YES, INTERIORS ARE ABSOLUTELY CHEAPER, let’s start up top;
Escalade IQ with second row executive package is $170k and has h0rr3nd0us and massive plastics in lower door bins and doesn’t even have the real leather lol.
ICE Escalade, same story plus r3ntal gr@de switchgear and same engine as a Chevy.
CT6 d3@d, CT5 cheap interior, CT4 cheap interior and I’m not even bringing the XTs.
The truck interiors aren’t class leading and RAM has them beat by a mile. Have you seen the latest Tungsten?
New Traverse is all plastic inside albeit soft to touch but no leather or imitation leather on dash or upper door trim.
82k Lyriq with leather package has plastic upper dash and upper door trims, h!lar!ous, so will the Optiq and Vistiq, mark my words.
4). GMs 1.2l, 1.3l, 1.5l, 2.0l, (3.6 in Cadillacs) are all underpowered.
Besides, EVs from rivals have more or similar power.
5). Quality is sheer j#*k, look up the Lyriq (idled for 8-9 months and still can’t fix the issues) Blazer, Hummer issues. Even the new Traverse was sitting idle for months
6). Carplay will be phased out sooner than later.
7). Software praised by who? Go to the forums to read the reviews by actual owners and not the paid Journalists.
8). Still not a single Hybrid on sale (or sight in NA) yet rivals are selling millions.
Do you own a Corvette? the Corvette is a great vehicle, however, 80% of the public cannot afford it.
I have seen this story in a number of places on the web in national news. Not one comment on any of the stories positive or negative.
That says much about this car and how it would be missed.
Pure speculation… But could we possibly see a new PHEV Malibu come ’26? We’ve heard rumblings of the General sliding back in that direction. This might also align with NASCAR’s desire to move to a hybrid power plant.
How can you justify killing a good selling model to replace it with something that doesn’t sell well?
I’m not surprised, GM has been making it less attractive for a couple of years now to help justify killing it.
Sad to see the end of an interesting car. And it’s also sad to see the decline of GM. My dad had a 1966 Impala SS, and a 1977 Buick LeSabre that were excellent cars, and made pretty well. Guality machinery. I was a GM guy back in the 1970’s, and my first car was a 1976 Chevy Nova, a great first car, even though it was plain and simple. Still a good car. But now GM is just a shell of what it once was, and now I prefer Toyota’s, drivng a 2003 Toyota Camry. And some people say that even Toyota is not as good as it once was. Maybe so. Still better than Chevy, IMO. Oh, well. Time’s change……..
GM, do the right thing. When you bring this Chevrolet back, rename it CHEVELLE!
As owner of an Opel Ampera/Chevy Volt and a 1979 Chevy Malibu, if GM axes its sedans, I will buy german, italian, sweedish, asian, Tesla or whoever offers me a sedan. Not everybody likes SUV´s or crossovers or is willing to buy one no matter what. I will definitively not buy trash like the Bolt or any SUV or crossover.
Shortly after Ford Motor Company announced its axing sedans, I sold my 2004 Mercury Marauder (143,000 miles) for a 2018 Dodge Charger GT Plus, then on Feb 9, 2023, I bought a 2022 Chrysler 300S 5.7l V8, I have enjoyed both cars since. My prediction is, Mary Buick Envision Made in China-Barra will eliminate GMs 2 remaining sedans in less than 3 years. I don’t consider the unaffordable Cadillac hearse mobile (Celestiq) a sedan.
gm, hang your head in shame. Glad I have my ’15 Impala LTZ, XTS, and ’91 Caprice wagon.
On a nostalgic note, I hate to see the Malibu name leave Chevy. Dad had a ’64, ’66 and ’71. I had a ’66 and my wife had a ’70. Great cars all with small block V8s.
TMI and Momolos:
Why you continue to ay that GM builds the worst sedans and that the sedans are not selling?
BMWs, Mercedes, Audis, Buicks (in China though), Kias, Hyundais? and the top sedaners? What is your problem with the new Civic? It has awesome looks, same as the Accord.
Worst sedan? the Cadillac CT4 and CT5?
Just don’t try to push the CUV / SUV to everybody with tales and assumptions. If Toyota would think they do not sell the Camry or the Corolla any more, why did they design the new generation of both?
Just make the numbers: a plant with full capacity (3 shifts) can make at the most 330K vehicles per year. How many plants are still utilized in the world with the total of sedan sales?
But all these other players certainly think out of the box which mean = GLOBAL.
By GLOBAL they have all of their customer base in mind and for example, while USA is focused in large, big and super-big SUVs Asians and Europeans still have appetite for sedans.
Still have not seen any auto racing with SUVs. Why?
Exactly. Sedans are far from dead globally or in the US. Honda, Nissan and Toyota sell a ton of sedans in the US, it’s just that they continue to refine and develop their sedans to make them viable and current. GM hasn’t done a damn thing to update the Malibu since they introduced this generation 8 years ago. Meanwhile the Japanese brands have given us updated versions of all their sedans and Toyota just updated the Camry again. The only reason to buy a Malibu over the import competition is brand loyalty or bargain basement price. I wouldn’t be as aggravated if you looked at GM’s crossovers and said, well, at least they’re world class”. But they not. What is GM doing with all its R&D money? Pumping it into Ultium technology? If the public continues to shun EV’s, GM is about to be in a world of hurt.
If there is the slightest profit in the Malibu GM should keep it going as long as the competitors build theirs. If no profit then convert to a hybrid.
GM needs to just make it a hybrid. This shutting lower priced sedan’s is very smart. Wake up GM
gm is “woke”; that is the problem.
Still driving a 4cyl. 2012 Malibu LTZ that was bought NEW. 77,000 miles and still going strong. Smooth ride and reliable. Best part is that it is owned free and clear. If GM can make a sedan that can compete with this old ICE car, I will buy it.
It is pretty obvious the morons at GM including Mary don’t read these comments ,, they would be building vehicles that the customer wants not what GM is pushing us to buy .. We do want sedans , ice ,no ev’s attractive exterior colors ,less cheep plastic interiors ,reliable engines and transmissions’ I GUESS I’M JUST DREAMING . NOTE !!! I’M WAITING TO ORDER A 2025 AMERICAN MADE XT5 TO REPLACE MY 2021 WILL IT HAPPEN ???????
No surprise here. GM has amply demonstrated its antipathy for the Malibu and sedans in general as it’s seen zero development, other than de-contenting, essentially since this generations introduction 8 years ago. Meanwhile, Honda, Nissan, Toyota all seem to make a pretty great living off of reasonably priced, competent, spacious and relatively bland mid-size sedans. When the day comes that American’s tire of crossovers and SUVs, GM is going to be in a world of hurt. And if they ever need a bailout again, I hope whatever administration is in power at that time has the balls to tell them, you made this mess, you clean it up.
gm is woke! They believe in being “inclusive” and checking all the boxes. Doesn’t matter that they are ignoring customer needs and wants and the Board of Directors are asleep at the wheel.
Since Barra’s reign as queen bi-ch at GM, I am now an ex GM customer for life. I’m driving Ford and Jeep both made in the USA.
My husband says there is a woman in charge of GM that is making some wrong decisions and not giving the pubic what they want or expect from GM Time to get her out before it’s too late. Electric car sales are down, not everyone wants an electric car, not everyone want an SUV or a truck.. I don’t think Chevy will be around by 2030. My opinion ..
Sales data does not support that opinion. GM was #1 in vehicle sales in America last year, and has the highest market share for light duty pickups, (as well as outselling the Ford F-150 since Q1 2020), full size SUVs, luxury SUVs and compact cross over SUVs.
Please clarify your Malibu article. Is the Malibu dead as reported by other sources or is there a replacement in the works as stated in this article?
Such a shame, Malibu is a Great Car! My wife loves our Malibu!! Luckily I just bought a New 2024 Malibu! I will be good for at least 10 years! Maybe GM will be able to change their minds before I will need a new Car!!
DR.B
I can see why they discontinued the garbage Malibu. But still wondering on the Camaro.
AWD with a decent motor and a hybrid just like Toyota and Honda have done. The Toyota Crown is a good example great hores power And torque
I think the Malibu needs to go, it’s stuck in 2016 and is not compelling enough.
There’s a meme on X with a funny cartoon whose caption is ” Whatever I don’t like is woke !”, The text version of that meme is now in some of the comments above.
Who can forget the GM cars from the 60’s. It was just one home run after another. Now except for the Corvette ,most cars are tiny engine,boring cars that all look alike. Remember the Grand Prix’s,Starfires,Toronado,GTO,Malibu,ImpalaSS,Riviera’s,Electra225,Monte Carlo,Bonneville’s. I miss the excitement these cars instilled in us during that time.Its gone and there is not a car made today that can make you feel that way . Miss those days
