I really like the design you posted above. I’m not sure that the tail lamps will be exactly the same as the ones on the Malibu though, but it makes for an interesting proposition. At the very least, we should see LED daytime running lights.
Mechanically, it should be a bit lighter and there will be new safety features on tap, including a collision warning system and blind-spot alert.
We should also see remote engine start, push-button start, a transition to electric power steering, along with an electric parking brake.
At least one of steering wheels offered should will be a flat-bottom unit, which isn’t found on other Chevys (Malibu, Cruze, Volt, etc.).
