The future Chevrolet Malibu
Gene Stefanyshyn's original plan was to take the Opel Blitz symbol off the front of the Vectra and simply add the Chevrolet Bowtie badge that would turn the mid-size sedan into a Malibu. That would have been the ultimate expression of the value of GM's new architecture strategy as envisaged and engineered by the engineer/MBA from Canada who is the vehicle line executive for Malibu, Pontiac Grand Am and Saturn L-series, and the person most responsible for the creation of the Epsilon architecture design.
