2012 seems a long lead time. Why not 2011 or 2011.5?

because it wont go on sale this year. GM will have its usual cycle of unveiling this in January and putting it on sale in fall 2011

Looks like that pic Inside Line posted yesterday was in the LeftLane set two months ago.

I actually think GM is going to fast on this one. The current design is still fresh and can go into 2012 without a problem. They should use the extra time to make the next Malibu really world class.

Promising proportions, but the rear lights still give me pause. I wish the overhangs were shorter.

That's a Malibu trait if the current one is any indication.
