Chevy put a video up on youtube for it:

Car looks very nice. I'm not a huge fan of touchscreens so hopefully there is a traditional radio available too as depending on how some things at work go, I may be looking for a dedicated work car next year and this would fit quite nicely.

wow... that looks amazing, i want to see one in person. maybe this my link thing will compete with fords SYNC which i personally hate.

 

i bet it wont be long before those touch screens are in the high trim package trucks.

 

 

i saw an HVAC button on that screen... i think thats kind of stupid that they would incorporate that into the touchscreen

Due to aerodynamics most manufactures are going to a similar body style. I like it and the differences it has over the other manufactures it looks similar to.

 

Not thrilled about all touch screen. I have read several articles that Ford's Sync is having issues and is a major complaint and popular warranty repair item.

Got to see it yesterday. Very nice car. The front grill is nice

I'd put money on 80% of those complaints being non-issues from people too stupid to read the manual. I know Ford is re-engineering some aspects of it but I stand by that statement based on my time at the dealer and customers failing to understand even more basic vehicle systems and claiming something is wrong.

Dont think so, from the few car mags im subscribed to, Ford is having issues with these things and people are starting to wonder why they even bought the package, luckily you can opt to have the upgrade or not

the styling of the new malibu is really good.. the rear is a little funky with the square tailights but i like it.

most of the newer high end touch systems from Lexus/MBZ/Ford/Acura etc have the HVAC on the screen because that is how they integrate the voice commands for the HVAC system, you will notice it also has manual HVAC controls.

 

Our Camry has the HVAC controls and an HVAC on the touch and about 20 voice commands to control it, everyone is moving toward the Knight Rider K.I.T.T. talking to your car technology.

 

 

 

 

Looks like a Taurus SHO in many ways. Inside and outside. Im liking it though.

 

the dash cluster and rear remind me of the new Camaro.

 

If only it came in a 2-door SS model.

 

 

See above..

I just bought an 11 1lt Malibu... I think this is a nice looking car however GM always shows the LTZ's only... why not show a lower package? some of us don't want touchscreens and leather just a thought

Nice Car I kind of like the rear tails reminds me of the Camaro and the interior keeps surprising me. If the touch screen is as easy as it to use as in the demo then its a long way from my GM Navi unit which I sometimes want to smash.
