2015-2016 New Cards List For You (Part 10)
Chevrolet Malibu
Base Price $23,165-$27,830
Body Type Sedan
Unchanged The most significant change for the
Malibu’s 2015 model year is the addition of a built-in Wi-Fi hotspot. The
volume- oriented 2.5L I-4 has standard engine stop-start technology, while the
turbocharged 2.0L I-4 may satisfy those who might otherwise go for a
V-6-powered four-door. In Motor Trend’s most recent Big Test of midsize sedans,
the Malibu placed last out of six cars.
Driver's Choice With nearly 300 lb-ft of torque, the
turbocharged 2.0L 4-cylinder engine is the obvious choice.

Chevrolet SS
Base Price $44,470
Body Type Sedan
Unchanged New to Chevrolet last year, the SS remains
the only rear-wheel-drive sedan in the brand’s lineup. The SS is the
reincarnation of the Pontiac GXP, which was based on Australia's popular Holden
Commodore. The SS remains one of the best sleepers in anyone’s lineup- its
stately sedan looks lull people into underestimating its powerful V-8.
Look For Expect a magnetic ride and manual
transmission option to be added soon.
