Filed under: Spy Photos , Sedans/Saloons , Chevrolet , GM Click above to enlarge We've got a bit of a wait ahead of us in the United States, but if this interior photo does indeed show the Chevy Cruze's passenger compartment, then maybe it'll be worth it. TheCaranatic.com doesn't tell the source of the image, the Daewoo logo on the wheel indicates that it was probably snapped in South Korea, where the car will be produced for the European and Asian markets. As for the interior itself? Well, based on the photo it looks top-notch, blending a lot of Opel Insignia with dashes of Chevy Malibu to create a very pleasant driver's environment. This is promising.

Filed under: Sedans/Saloons , Chevrolet click above to view high-res gallery of the 2008 Chevy Malibu They're not quite done putting it through the paces, but Consumer Reports for the most part is liking Chevy's new Malibu . They've opened up the car's logbook on the magazine's blog , and here are a few of the positive quotes they shared: "Wow. Impressive to drive, even in the four-cylinder version." "Best normally-aspirated Ecotec (four-cylinder engine) application out there." "Distinctive dashboard - definitely not a 'me-too' design." This is a heavy hitter that competes head-on with Camry, Accord, and Altima." Luckily for Chevrolet, the positive comments so far are in the lead, and most of the negatives are for relatively minor things like: "hard to reach seat levers " "I do not like the interior trim. The dash has a pink tone to it, whereas the other browns are more orange." "I'm disappointed...

Filed under: Etc. , Chevrolet , Lifestyle Once you've got a Corvette, what's left? Why, a boat, of course! You're not going to want to step out of your C6 into some aluminum row boat with a 5-horsepower Evinrude hung off the back. A 2-stroke buzz can't hold a candle to the barrel-chested rumble of an LS V8. Malibu Boats has introduced its latest Corvette Limited Edition Sport-V speedboat to solve your problem. The Corvette's most prominent styling cues have been lifted from the car and rendered in V-hull form. There's authentic Corvette seats, a dashboard that emulates the four-wheeled version, and even roll-down windows. There are two different versions of the Sport-V, the Coupe and the Z06. The Coupe isn't lacking in anything, with 400 horsepower from its own V8, but the Z06 is just that much more over the top. There's not only 105 more horsepower on tap, but it also includes a lexan engine hatch to show off the LS7 engine and a two-tone interior and dash...

The Aveo5, Impala E85, Malibu Hybrid, Tahoe Hybrid, Silverado Hybrid, Volt, Equinox Fuel Cell, Beat and Groove were used to show off that Chevy will be the brand carrying the greenish flame most prominently into the future for GM. Lutz talked about having a whole range of options available to meet future trends, from hybrids, to flex-fuel burners, to fuel cells, to electrics like start/stop technology and good old-fashioned economy cars that get great fuel economy.

Filed under: Garage , Sedans/Saloons , Chevrolet , Driving click above image to view a new high-res gallery of the 2008 Chevy Malibu var digg_url = 'http://digg.com/motorsport/First_drive_of_2008_Chevrolet_Malibu_suggests_best_U_S_car_ever'; Autoblog gets numerous comments saying that the domestic automakers could easily sell more products if only they would make them good enough to buy. We agree. With the introduction of the 2008 Chevy Malibu , it could very well be time for us all to put up or shut up. GM knows the midsize sedan segment is dominated by the Toyota Camry and has taken direct aim at that very car with the new Malibu. The car's measurements come close to the Camry in almost every category, including length, interior space, trunk size and engine displacement. Where they differ is in design. The Camry provides the automotive appliance for those who don't really want a car, but need to go places. The Malibu brings style to the game at a competitive price. GM invited us to spend...
