2016 Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid is one we'd be proud to drive (pictures)

The 2016 Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid keeps the same styling as its traditionally powered sibling, and that's just fine with us. The new Malibu is sleek and sophisticated, with an eye toward modern design.

I love two-seater, RWD convertibles and own a 2004 Mazdaspeed Miata for pavement fun and a lifted 2001 Miata for pre-running. I race air-cooled Volkswagens in desert races like the Mint 400 and the Baja 1000. I have won the Rebelle Rally, seven-day navigational challenge, twice and I am the only driver to compete in an EV, the Rivian R1T.
