Fuel economy sounds impressive.

I'm wondering why they don't go a step further an use peltier devices to recoup some of that heat energy into electrical energy as well? I saw that GM and BMW did a study on this a while back but never could find why it wasn't implemented.

...that, and Lexus uses it in the 450h applications.  I'm not sure if it's used in the Toyota products.

What I like about this is that they used the 1.8L (sounds like a lot of Volt components), and the layout looks like the trunk space won't be terribly compromised.  With GM's vault-like (that is, quiet) interiors of late, coupled with the easy highway cruising, this could make for one excellent vehicle (assuming rear-seat space isn't compromised).

I would still like to see GM change the name from Malibu to something more appealing.

Ok.  How about Maliwhat or Maliwho?

Well, if it's Chevrolet Impala, why not make it the Chevrolet Calf or Antelope?

Chevelle!

Laguna!

Bel-Air!

Biscayne!

...I'm good with Malibu, though.

Chevelle is a good name to bring back from the past.
