The Chevrolet Malibu Premier is one of the only American sedans (not counting anything with RWD or AWD) made today, but it is pathetically underpowered (@250hp) when compared to the trendy Asian competitors. Okay, fine, the Honda Accord Touring makes officially "2" hp more, but it was underestimated like that to avoid overlapping with the track-focused Civic Type R which uses the exact same engine.

The new medium-sized, turbocharged Chevy has got the exact, same engine as found in the Cadillac ATS, however, here in Australia, it is also known as the Holden Malibu.
