Back to the topic at hand.. the 2.4L:
I came from a heavily modified Acura RSX Type S, so I was very trepid about buying the 2.4 over the V6. In the LTZ form, the Malibu can move, no doubt. It's not as fast as a Charger RT, but it will definately move. The 2.4 is not NEARLY the dog I thought it would be. Even handicapped with the 4 spd auto, it still has plenty of go. It's not a stoplight-to-stoplight motor, but is has AMPLE power for everyday driving. And on top of that, I'm already averaging 28.5 on the highway with less than 300 miles on the odo. Definately not dissapointed.
