It’s long been presumed that the Chevrolet<\/a> Volt<\/a> (and its Opel\/Vauxhall Ampera twin<\/a>) would not be the only car rolling out of General Motors’ Detroit-Hamtramck assembly plant after late 2010. After all, Volt volumes are unlikely to be sufficient in the first several years to justify an entire plant. However, when a future product plant was leaked out after the 2007 UAW contract was signed, it was assumed the new Chevy Orlando would join the Volt. After all, the Orlando shares the Delta platform with the Volt and Cruze.<\/p>\n

Following the announcement Monday of the investment in the Detroit factory to build the Volt, The Detroit News <\/em>believes it has learned that the next-generation Malibu will also be built in Detroit. The new Malibu<\/a> is slated to debut in 2011 as a 2012 model. Current Malibu assembly takes place in Fairfax, Kansas. The General’s Orion, Michigan plant had also been building the mid-sized sedan, but it is now being re-tooled build the next generation Aveo. With Fairfax now also building the Buick LaCrosse, a second plant may be needed to meet demand if the new model is successful. <\/p>\n
