"The Malibu Cruiser concept car shows Malibu’s potential and how it can be customized to attract everyone from the youthful enthusiast to the empty nester seeking more performance and fun from a daily driver," said Lew Elbert, Malibu brand manager.

The exterior also features a larger front end, new rocker trim, hood, front and rear fascias, rear spoiler and an aggressively raised cowl hood. A brushed aluminum gas cap, tinted gray windows and fog lamps also distinguish this Malibu show car.

The Cruiser also has Stainless Steel Brake Corporation stainless steel four-wheel disc brakes with ABS and polished rotors, as well as rack and pinion power-assisted steering.

The independent front and rear suspension has Mantapart coilover struts and has been lowered by 1.5-inches. The Malibu Cruiser rolls on Mille Miglia Evo 19X8 wheels and Toyo Proxes T1-S tires.

Inside, the black leather and carpeted interior features a new full-length console, four bucket seats and carbon fiber accents. Throughout the cabin are chartreuse and black dual-twill carbon fiber and Kevlar accents. The panel under the hood also picks up the chartreuse and black pattern, which was created with yellow Kevlar fabric, that when overlaid with laminate, turns green. The center console also features green carbon fiber trim and black leather, plus polished aluminum cupholders and a Kenwood mobile entertainment system that features radio, CD, DVD, TV, amplifiers and 10-disc CD changer.

Question of the Day: What's the most irritating car name?

Wed, Mar 9 2016

You hear a lot about how the Chevrolet Nova was a sales flop in Mexico because "No va" means "it doesn't go" in Spanish; in fact, the Nova sold pretty well south of the border, and in any case most Spanish-speakers know that "Nova" means "new" in Latin and Portuguese. However, General Motors doesn't deserve to be let off the hook for bad car names, because the Oldsmobile Achieva— no doubt inspired by the excruciating "coffee achievers" ads of the 1980sÂ— scrapes the biggest fingernails down the screechiest chalkboard in the US-market car-name world. That is, unless you think Daihatsu's incomprehensible choice of Charade was worse. Meanwhile, Japanese car buyers could get machines with cool names like Mazda Bongo Friendee or Honda Life Dunk. It's just not fair! So, what car name drives you the craziest? Related Video: Auto News Design/Style Chevrolet Honda Mazda Daihatsu Automotive History questions car names

The 2014 Chevrolet SS sedan is for drivers who value performance above all else

Sat, 16 Feb 2013

The car you see above is the 2014 Chevrolet SS, and it's important both because it is the first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan from Chevy in 17 years, and because it will be the nameplate the brand uses on NASCAR tracks all across the country starting this year.
Though it wears a name as American as baseball and apple pie, the machine was actually designed and built in Australia, sharing most of its parts with the brand-new VF-model Holden Commodore. That said, the basic chassis bits are shared with other Chevrolet models like the Camaro and Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle.
While Chevrolet is happy to sell a Malibu or Impala to anyone looking for a mainstream family sedan, but the SS is reserved for buyers interested first and foremost in performance. Most sedans sold these days are front-wheel drive, which is great for everyday driving and when the weather goes bad, but the SS is instead a rear-wheel-drive vehicle aimed at enthusiasts who love to drive and who prefer speed and performance above all else.

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
