Re: Automotive News: Malibu 2.4 LTZ

I guess he's never driven a four cylinder car before. The whole point of a basic 4 cylinder car is to save on gas (it's common sense as well) and as a result your horsepower will be in the toilet but you will see an MPG increase. You want performance out of a 4 banger then get something like a cobalt SS turbo. I never trust CNET for car reviews because Brian cooley is honest sometimes but tends to favor cars with plenty of high tech gadgetry. Also he thinks he knows alot more about cars then he really does
