One step forward two steps back. I really hope GM offers the 3.5L Malibu at retail for 09. If not, they will be selling over 90% 4 bangers in 09 in the Malibu/Aura. With gas at $4-$5/gal, 3 MPG highway is a HUGE difference between the two V-6’s!

GM should offer the 3.5L and 6 speed auto. That would be a great alternative. I would take 219hp and 19-20mpg in the city any day.
