Chevrolet first offered the Malibu as a rear-wheel-drive sedan, and produced it until 1983. Among the more colorful uses came in 1981, when General Motors of Canada produced a special order of Malibu sedans for Saddam Hussein's Iraqi government. The Malibu body style was extensively used in NASCAR from 1973 to 1983.
Chevrolet brought the Malibu back in 1997 as a front-wheel-drive model. The sedan will enter its ninth generation with the 2016 model year when it goes on sale later this year.
