I previously owned a G6 with the V6 and now I have the 2.4 Malibu and I can tell you that yes, in certain spots I do miss the overall pickup and quick acceleration but the 2.4 still has plenty of pop when needed, has a few sluggish moments up large hills but overall does a fine job touring around town or the highway - I think its more a personal preference thing - gas milage however, much better with the 2.4 so far with almost 2000 miles driven.

Thanks for the info. I test drove the 2.4 Bu yesterday and I was quite impressed by its performance. Over the past 19 years I have driven trucks or vans and did not know how my wife and I would like the fact of driving a car. I was ready to purchase the car (although it seemed to take bumps a little harder than the van) but my wife is hung up on buying a Dodge Journey which to me is beyond what we require. Now we are in a stalemate.
