“With each new product we are aiming to raise the stakes and the next-generation Chevrolet Malibu will be no exception,” said GM Canada vice president Marc Comeau in a statement.
He added that GM had approached the redesign with the aim of making the new car stand out in the highly competitive North American mid-size car segment.
The new interior for the 2008 car features a ‘dual cockpit’ design.
The 2008 Malibu will follow a model redesigned for the 2004 model year (putting it on a new four-year replacement cycle in line with Japanese rivals such as the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry; the prior generation was built from 1997 to 2003 and carried over to 2004 for fleets only).
