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.

ABSOLUTELY YES.
On this subject, they get the max grade because they gave us what we asked for. The car is still as large or larger than the most direct competition, with more standard equipment, and more standard performance equipment, and came in weight slightly less....all the while remaining very close to the size of the 5th gen.
Many of us (including myself) asked for a slightly smaller car, and that's what we got.
So yes...they get the grade.
