I wonder if thats the same 3.6L that goes into the Buick Renezous Ultra/CTS. If so, its got VVT, a good thing! I checked it out at the NAIAS and I must say its VERY impressive inperson. I was online w/ Saturn yesterday and requested a brouchure, not for me, but for my Dad who's lease is up in the fall on his Malibu. I thought the Aura was getting the 3.5L/3.9L like the G6/GTP and Mailbu/SS, but it seems Saturn is trying to set itself apart from the rest, yet another good move on their part using the "high end" motor from Caddy and Buick

Seriously, I'd take the Aura over the Fusion anyday!
