Malibu was a trim level on the Chevelle.
Where are the people that are crying about the Charger?
i know it will out run, out handle, and out mileage the older car. no question in my mind that technology has brought mid sized front drivers a long way, i woudl jsut like to see GM do something with the styling to make it stand out a bit more.
it is a good looking car, just not the first thing you notice in a line of commuter traffic. the old car was much more noticable.

the new charger is a nice looking car, i just wish someone woudl revive a muscle car name and actually make it a bit more original muscle car attitude though. the charger is supposed to be around 4000lbs.
the principal of the original muscle cars was to have a "light" mid size or compact(for the times) car with all the grunt you could fit under the hood. modern technology has made it so that car companies can create more grunt and still keep the tree huggers happy, but now the cars have gotten even heavier.

It started that way, but from 78-83 it was it's own car.

And exactly did that Malibu do for the name?
I like that style too, and looked for one for a long time, but the car didnt exactly exude any sort of sport or performance, outside of being a good platform for a light car.

I didn't say that it boosted the nameplate, just that it was it's own model back in the day
