Honestly I don't know if I'd believe any number that was reported just due to the nature of the business. The last model had a published .29, I can't imagine it being worse. There is a Volt derived hybrid system slated to get 45 mpg. 37 mpg hwy with a 1.5L and 32 mpg hwy for the 2.0L

I don't know,but I'd be surprised at anything above 0.26.
Here is their Cd 0.22, 2010 ,Vauxhall Flextreme GT-E.
They're certainly going in its direction.

So what model is it? I know it says on the door, but I can't quite make it out.

I especially like the convex-into-concave body lines in the side.

It's a Malibu.

Looks HUGE, I would have thought it was an Impala but I guess the Impala will grow too...

I've heard that the new Malibu hybrid is supposedly lighter than the current Cruze. Partly due to an Al engine block. Insanity.
