The equal sub-compact ran 12-13k, I paid 16.5k for mine. Correct me if I'm wrong but when the current Malibu came out didn't top of the line run something like 25-26k?

Yes 300hp gross is about 220-240hp net but the Super Sport trim was always supposed to be performance oriented. There was nothing performance oriented about the V6 Impala, Monte Carlo and Malibu SSs models.
The Impala/Monte Carlo SS both had 5.3L LS4s.

Hilariously enough, the new standard LFX V6 in the 2012 Impala makes just one less horsepower than the 2009 Impala SS, but...
