The truth is, they gave him the car because it will increase the amount of exposure the story gets. They arent giving him a new car because of what happened to the guy. They are giving it because of the increased exposure the story will get.
Its their way of showing the public 2 things. The first being that the Malibu is extremely safe, and the second that chev is a caring company who is looking out for their customers.
Its a Public relations/publicity decision. It has nothing to do with lawsuits.

Yes!
It's cheaper to give a 15K car then to run a series of ads on local TV when most will just go take a shit. Usually when a car company gives someone a free car out of nowhere, it is for free advertising.
