The cars you are looking at are among the first 2013 Chevrolet Malibu sedans to arrive at dealerships in North America. These examples were put together at the GM Fairfax plant in Kansas, but Detroit-Hamtramck will soon also be making Malibus.
The launch of the mid-size contender comes in its most frugal form, the Eco version that uses a 2.4-liter Ecotec four-banger in combination with the eAssist mild-hybrid system. This unit produces 180 hp, but it can receive an additional bit of boost from the electric motor under hard acceleration.

The 2013 Malibu Eco will start at $25,995 including destination, and it promises to do an impressive 38 mpg highway and 26 mpg city.

GM has today confirmed the arrival of a 2.0-liter Ecotec Turbo in the near future, expected to produce about 270 horsepower for the range-topping model.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
