I spoke to my Chevrolet Dealer today and the manual for the 2012 clearly states that it can't be flat towed. I asked about my 2010 Malibu and they siad since the manual states that it is 'Flat Towable' that it is and the transmission would be covered if something went wrong. The 2012 states that it willot be covered if 'Flat Towing' the car.
