The base car will have a 2.4-liter four-cylinder DOHC petrol. Official figures have not been released yet, but expect 123 kW (167 hp) and 225 Nm (166 lb-ft) of torque.

The other engine choice will be a 2.0-liter Common Rail turbo diesel powertrain which should be rated at 118 kW (160 hp) and 350 Nm (258 lb-ft) of torque.

The 2013 Malibu sedan has been actively tested on Australia’s roads to best meet the standards of drivers there. It’s also going to be handsomely well equipped, with standard Rear Park Assist, Electronic Stability Control (ESC), passive entry and start with sensor key, colour touchscreen and premium audio system.

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.
