Nice.
The non-DI 3.6 needs mileage that is competitive with the Accord and the Camry.
Manual or automatic, everything GM should be six speed or better (DSG for the Aura anyone?).
Speaking of which, a manual option for the Aura/Pontiac would be great.
Hybrid? BAS+? or Two-Mode? Either way, it needs to get significantly better mileage than the 4 cyl/6 speed combination.
Base 4? How about a 2.0L/1.8L/1.6L DI/turbo depending on best power/mpg combination + extra grunt for Pontiac?
Ford is going to small displacement with turbo-charging and that seems to be a workable idea, especially with $4/$5/$$$$ gas around the corner.
