GM also announced the new 2016 Malibu is BIGGER and weighs 300 pounds less. The current Epsilon platform is porky as well as Zeta.
So does GM get the max grade for the weight loss knowing that?
Just for discussion.

Part of the reason Malibu is listed as so much lighter is because of the new base engine. Sounds like it cut a good chunk of weight as well. Let's wait and see how much they cut from 2.0 to 2.0.
I'm impressed with the weight for the SS.
