3 Redesigned 2016 Car Models That Could Really Surprise - Motley Fool
As we inch closer to fall, the time has begun once again to think about the release of 2016 car models. With that in mind, we asked three of our Foolish auto contributors to name one redesigned vehicle they're watching that they believe could really surprise the market in terms of sales. One of the big themes in U. S. auto sales recently is the surge in SUV sales, which is coming at the expense of sales of sedans. Sales of the longtime midsize-sedan class leaders, Toyota 's Camry and Honda 's has hit it out of the park with its 2016 Chevrolet Malibu. The new Malibu is on an all-new architecture. The all-new 2016 Chevrolet Malibu will arrive at U. S. dealers this fall. The materials are top-notch, a step ahead of Toyota and Honda, and even ahead of Ford 's acclaimed Fusion. Under the hood, there's a new turbocharged four-cylinder that should be good for 37 miles per gallon on the highway -- or, optionally, an all-new hybrid drivetrain based on the Chevy Volt's technology. GM doesn't have official EPA ratings yet, but they think the hybrid will be good for 47 miles per gallon combined -- a terrific mark for a big five-passenger sedan. And for GM shareholders, the kicker: GM says that the new car will. Source: www.fool.com
