Is the Passat the game changer that will drive competitors to offer diesel cars?Despite the lack of promising news for the Malibu diesel, the absence of an oil burning Malibu means that Chevrolet doesn’t have a truly direct competitor to the Passat TDI, which is said to be capable of going 800 miles on one tank and is being launched very soon. To make the discussion more interesting, the observable decrease in build quality with VW’s latest efforts—i.e. the US specified Jetta and even the Passat—along with the buzz of GM pushing to make the Malibu a world-class leader in its segment makes the Malibu seem very promising. That said, the Malibu has the potential of being a segment leader. Let us hope that they change their mind about a Malibu diesel.
