'13 Malibu Turbo does 155 MPH
http://media.gm.com/media/us/en/gm/n...ibu_turbo.html
What's more attractive to the mid level to premium level midsize buyer, mpg or mph? I'm curious to see how well the Malibu 2.0t sells.
The Malibu turbo can sprint from 0 to 60 mph in 6.3 seconds and achieve a top speed of 155 mph. Even with this performance delivered by its 259-horsepower (193 kW) engine, the Malibu turbo has an EPA-estimated fuel economy of 21 city and 30 mpg highway.

Maybe it's just me, but this isn't really impressive at all... For example, the '13 Accord V6 has 278hp and is rated at 21/34. And the 270hp Altima V6 is rated at 22/31. But hey, the V6 Camry is rated 21/30 as well (268hp), so I guess the Malibu is in good company.

No idea. I would imagine it's comparable, considering those are all the best cars in that segment. Even if it was cheaper, that is no excuse, as that is what every Malibu in the past 15+ years has been; not quite as good, but it's cheaper!
