GM Announces a Gasoline-Electric Hybrid Malibu

Following in the tire tracks of Honda's Accord Hybrid, as well as the Nissan Altima Hybrid and Toyota Camry Hybrid, all mainstream midsize sedans that have been announced for production, Chevrolet will rework its midsize Malibu with a hybrid-electric powertrain. Don't expect it this year or next, as Chevy won't be bringing it to market until the 2007 or even the 2008 model year, unlike its new hybrid pickup that comes out this year.
