Okay, well if we're judging things relatively speaking, perhaps we shouldn't be comparing a full-size boat to a mainstream family sedan. And even the SHO was a 'high-performance' model in it's lineup, which there is no equivalent to in the Malibu line.

Short of sports coupes, a 2.0T Malibu will dispatch just about any normal vehicle you would come across. It's as quick as just about any other midsizer.
