Late night embargo breach: 2008 Chevrolet Malibu

Don�t know what the hell�s going on today but here�s another broken embargo. We solemnly swear that we had nothing to do with the Chevrolet Malibu breach. Don�t believe us? Take a peek-a-boo at Edmunds Insideline, that�s where we got the pics.

Design-wise, apart from Avalanche, Tahoe etc. inspired front end, cant� say that I �m in to it as Chevy designers seem to have borrowed (unsuccessfully if you ask me) styling cues from here and there �eg. the VW Jetta rear window line and the Infiniti G35 tail lamps. The interior on the other hand is simple but nicely conceived.

Based on GM�s Epsilon platform that's used among others, on the Saturn Aura, Opel Vectra and Saab 9-3, Chevy�s "wanna beat the damn Camry" mid-sized sedan will be offered initially with two engines, a base 2.4 litre 4cylinder Ecotec pumping out 164Hp and a 252Hp strong 3.6 V6. We'll have more on the Malibu when GM decides to dis-embargo it officially� Via: Edmunds Insideline
