Chevrolet has announced that its 2013 Chevrolet Malibu will get a new version of GM's 2.4-liter four, stroked to 2.5 liters. It makes 190 horsepower and 180 pound-feet of torque, up 20 each, and will proliferate through the GM lineup, including the '12 Buick Regal.

Chevy also confirmed an ECO version of the '13 Malibu, though this eAssist model retains the 2.4-liter configuration. It launches ahead of the 2.5-liter Malibus early next year, and will be rated 26/38 mpg.

The '12 Corvette Z06 with the Z07 performance package and the ZR1 will get new tires, bringing maximum lateral acceleration to a manufacturer's claimed 1.10 g. The Michelin Pilot Sport Cup Zero Pressure tires are 285/30R19 front, 335/25R20 rear.

At Cadillac, the 2012 SRX finally replaces the 3.0-liter V-6 with the 3.6-liter version, with no expected effect on the 18/25-mpg EPA numbers. In the SRX, the 3.6 is rated 300 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. At the same time, the '12 CTS's 3.6 has been upgraded by 14 horses and 2 pound-feet to 318 horsepower and 275 pound-feet. EPA remains 18/27 mpg, Cadillac says.
