The twin Malibus show off a new nose job and the new VVT 3900 V-6 with 240 hp and 241 lb-ft of torque. The Malibu SS
will be available as the sedan and MAXX extended wheelbase 5-door. The transmission is a 4-speed auto with a manual
shift mode and adaptive shift control. A 3.69 final drive ratio was included to give the Malibu SS more accelerating
oomph. A new rear bumper with dual chrome exhaust tips and a rear spoiler adds to the SS look from the back and a new
ebony colored interior with “gun metal” trim accents, new sport seats, three-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel and
leather covered shifter knob round out the interior upgrades. More info and pictures at the link.
