But analysts say the new Malibu is much better than the current version, with a sleeker outer appearance and better quality interiors.

The redesigned Malibu shares its mechanical components with the recently introduced Saturn Aura sedan.

GM said the redesigned car will compete with the Camry on fuel economy and price. The Camry starts at $18,720.

The new Malibu will be quieter inside and have new standard safety equipment, such as side curtain airbags and stability control, GM said.

GM will launch a number of redesigned vehicles this year, including the Cadillac CTS and the new GMC Acadia, Saturn Outlook and Buick Enclave crossovers.

Just watch out Toyota.

Chevrolet is the volume leader for GM and this glorious mid-size sedan will sell heaps for GM.

Watch it gain traction year and year! Much better than boring Camry......fabulous interior, great powertrain and fantastic tranny. Match that with a great price and you get SALES, SALES, SALES...
