General Motors will officially end production of the Chevrolet Malibu this fall after years of uncertainty and rumor following GM’s quiet acknowledgment that it was getting out of the four-door business for good.
The Malibu is one of Chevy’s oldest nameplates and dates to 1964, however it took a hiatus from 1984-1996. The sedan’s departure will make way for a new vehicle — another small one. The Fairfax Assembly facility in Kansas will be retooled to build the replacement Chevrolet Bolt.
