Less than 24 hours later, one of our dedicated readers, Ted Krygier, has put his best Photoshop skills to work, completing a colored rendering of what the Malibu could look like based on the patent sketches<\/p>\n<p> In colored-up form, it&#8217;s even more clear that the next-gen Malibu will use a design inspired by the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2008\/04\/17\/officially-official-opel-insignia-revealed\/\">Opel\/Vauxhall Insignia<\/a> up front, with a few <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/model\/camaro\">Camaro<\/a>-like touches around the rear end. The styling is quite a bit more aggressive than the current Malibu, and since the new car appears to have a shorter wheelbase, its road stance should be more akin to that of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/model\/fusion\">Ford Fusion<\/a>. Still, we like what we see thus far. <em>Hat tip to Ted for the renderings!<\/em><\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<div class=\"postgallery\">\n<p><strong>Gallery: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/03\/12\/coloring-in-between-the-lines-reader-shades-in-2012-chevy-malib\/%GalleryURL%\">2012 Chevrolet Malibu Renderings by Ted Krygier<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/gallery\/2012-chevrolet-malibu-renderings-by-ted-krygier\/2795314\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/03\/malibupatent002compare_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/gallery\/2012-chevrolet-malibu-renderings-by-ted-krygier\/2795315\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/03\/malibupatent002real2_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/gallery\/2012-chevrolet-malibu-renderings-by-ted-krygier\/2795313\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/03\/malibupatent000preview_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/gallery\/2012-chevrolet-malibu-renderings-by-ted-krygier\/2795316\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/03\/malibupatent003b_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/gallery\/2012-chevrolet-malibu-renderings-by-ted-krygier\/2795309\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/03\/2012malibuchops_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p> [Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cheersandgears.com\/topic\/55120-2012-chevrolet-malibu\/\">Cheers and Gears<\/a>]<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/03\/12\/coloring-in-between-the-lines-reader-shades-in-2012-chevy-malib\/\">Coloring Between the Lines: Reader shades in 2012 Chevy Malibu patent drawings<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\">Autoblog<\/a> on Fri, 12 Mar 2010 12:58:00 EST.
