Not quite. They both share the same platform (GM's Epsilon), but that platform extends to a great many models, so much of the cars themselves are different. Ironically, the Epsilon platform also is used by Fiat for the current (dated) Chroma, the original version was co-developoed with the 9000.
In any case, the G6, while in the same segment as the Malibu, is actually a smaller car, aimed at a smaller, cheaper market. you can't really compare it to any of the Saab models, and it fits in closer to the cobalt than the Malibu. Which was actually a problem for GM, as the new Cruze/G5 were vry close in size, so they would compete too much.
I just rented one myself, and if you keep in mind it is a smaller, sportier car not meant to be a luxury car it is pretty good for a GM. I usually rent Malibus or Auras, but the g6 while smaller has a bit more pep and better handling.
