2012 Chevrolet Malibu renderings by Ted Krygier - Click above for high-res image gallery
Yesterday, we brought you the official patent drawings of the next-generation Chevrolet Malibu - the Epsilon II-based sedan that will more than likely debut later in 2011 as a 2012 model. 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
In colored-up form, it’s even more clear that the next-gen Malibu will use a design inspired by the Opel/Vauxhall Insignia up front, with a few Camaro-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 Ford Fusion. Still, we like what we see thus far. Hat tip to Ted for the renderings!

The Formula One season begins this weekend at what is expected to be a scorchingly hot circuit in Bahrain.

Even better, four teams are acknowledged to be at the top, and according to Mercedes test driver Nick Heidfeld, the Red Bull could be the class of the field. Follow the jump to hear Sebastian Vettel talk about the team’s new racer and see it in action.

Can Treasury Nudge Lenders Into More Short Sales? Don’t Bank On It
Mar 8, 2010 Object
Millions of homes in America are now worth less than is owed on them. If homeowners and lenders could agree on short sales, it would be, if not a win, less of a loss for both sides, so the government is offering a little incentive for them to consider it. Unfortunately, the incentive is too little.
