That Corvette looks bad ass. The first picture of that supposed Impala looks stupid.

Second photo is just a rendering. Nobody outside of GM knows what the C7 taillights look like.

Third photo is the only legitimate one...and who cares? They look good on Malibu.

In any case, as someone said, the Camaro's taillights are Corvette inspired in the first place.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Are you kidding? This is fake.

This is the Malibu. It is Camaro-ish but there won't be any confusion...

Why don't they just get it over with and come out with a 4 cylinder, compact copy of a Camaro, and call it a day!

Well, actually, the Camaro tail lights are copies of the 64 Impala. (Squared, but still copies) So what?

It is. People in the know, know. Patrick, the previous owner of DigitalCorvettes.com is well enough connected in certain circles. As much as we may not like it, that is the C7 Corvette, save VERY minor tweaks.

Are you guys for real?

It's a freaking Photoshop someone on GMI did about what a Camaro-based Impala could look like.

Misinformed (I hope he was joking) post like this is how bad rumors spread on the internet. Just came back from a test drive of the Malibu Eco. Very nice! Plenty of power for a DD and 37mpg hwy to boost. White Diamond with beige/cocoa leather interior is very classy.
