2016 Chevy Malibu 2LZ

Source: Chevrolet.com The all-new 2016 Chevy Malibu 2LZ definitely turned some heads while I had it earlier this month. Styled in 'Blue Velvet Metallic' (the name is very accurate) with an ash gray leather interior and dark wood grain had one person asking me if it was a Jaguar.  The sleek lines and shortened back end certainly stand out and create a look that is elegant yet slightly sporty. I love that this car has come around again with an even better design than previous models.  Almost ten years ago now I started writing about cars and the Chevy Malibu was my first foray into this arena.  We have both come pretty far since that time.

Trust me, when I say I know how much this can do for a family.  When TD was just out of school in June (only last month!)
