    The Chevy Malibu has had a 4-cylinder engine with 4-speed transmission available since the launch began six months ago. What has now been added is the 4-cylinder available with a six-speed automatic transmission.

    Saying the 4-cylinder option is new is misleading. The Malibu is now a mid-size segment leader with the addition of the 6-speed transmission and highest EPA rated highway fuel economy at 32 MPG.

    Ah, the Malibu already had a four cylinder. This one just adds a 6 speed. And has slightly more power.
