Photos: GM hybrids at the LA Auto Show

General Motors is getting as much mileage out of its new hybrid systems as it can--in more ways than one. At this year's Los Angeles Auto Show, the automaker unveiled three production models that make use of its different hybrid technologies.

2008 Chevy Malibu Hybrid

Not only does the Malibu get an all-new body style for 2008, it also gets an available hybrid power train. Unlike the 2-Mode hybrid system that GM is using in its full-size trucks, the Malibu gets GM's Belt Alternator Starter system, found in the Saturn Vue and Aura Green Lines. The BAS replaces the car's conventional alternator with an electric motor/generator and adds a nickel-metal hydride battery pack.
