Having celebrated its world debut at concurrent shows in the U.S. and China, the new Malibu will form a cornerstone of Chevrolet’s presence at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show. In Europe, where Malibu was not previously available, the all-new version will go on sale next year and be the brand’s new flagship.
“The Malibu will come on top of the seven new entries launched in Chevrolet’s centennial year,” said Wayne Brannon, President and Managing Director of Chevrolet Europe. “The Chevrolet Malibu is the brand’s new top-of-the-range offering, bringing proven value with a premium feel to Europe’s midsize segment.”
