The Chevrolet Malibu has been the brand's best selling car in recent years. It has helped to keep General Motors afloat through a difficult economy, and now the midsize sedan is getting an extensive makeover for the 2013 model year. In advance of a full unveiling of the new car design on April 18th , the company has released a teaser video depicting a designer working on the car in a futuristic studio.

In this video images of the car are displayed on a 3D hologram projector, and it appears from these images the all-new Malibu will have a much more dramatic look than the rather plain model it is replacing. It appears to have Camaro-inspired tail lights and strong shoulder and character lines that create a sporty wedge profile.

According to a study by Ad-ology, nearly one-third of consumers surveyed said that better gas mileage prompted their desire to buy a new car. Almost half the car shoppers in the May 2011 study said they were considering on buying a Ford as their new car, an increase of 35% of those who chose Ford in January 2011.

The survey also revealed that consumers were most interested in fuel economy/gas mileage after the purchase price of the new car. Nearly 35% of U.S. adults said they were planning on buying a new or used car in the next 12 months. Another significant finding of the stud was that over half of those considering a new car purchase thought of themselves as technology lovers. A total of 5,921 U.S. adults were surveyed to analyze the motivating factor for purchasing a new car.
