It was actually revised for 2013, so it is pretty recent.

Re: 2014 Chevy Malibu

The 2013 Malibu was a disaster of a redesign, period. While I do think it's noble that GM quickly recognized it and tried to fix some of it, I honestly don't think it's really even salvagable.

Such a shame, my wife has the previous gen Malibu and it's really a great car. She won't even consider the current iteration.

You cannot have your clock cleaned in the midsize car segment.

Re: 2014 Chevy Malibu

I saw a 2014 Malibu on a Chevy lot today. It might have been a base model, I am not sure but my first thought (I saw it from the front) was its really, really bland. I am not sure this is an improvement.

I don't understand why the Chevy designers didn't take from the Impala's front end and make it more aggressive with more sharp lines.
