That would make a better return for the Chevy Citation.

No, you missed my point, when the Malibu was brought back in 97 it looked nothing like it did when it went out of production in 83, it evolved from 97 to the point it is today. Just because they use the same name over does not mean it has to look similar to the way it did before. Each generation of Chevelle/ Malibu had its own look. The 66 looked nothing like a 64, a 68 looked nothing like a 67, a 73 looked nothing like a 72. The last car to carry the Chevelle name was the 1977 and that nameplate was on a tiny badge on the right rear. At least it was on my 76.

I look at the newer Malibu like I look at the Dart. They needed a new FWD car and just used an established name to get it off the ground faster. The look of the Chevelle changed over time but it wasn't like the Camaro where they had nothing in common. |

If they build a LWB Alpha 2 door and 4 door Chevelle to go along with the CTS and use it to replace the SS, that might make a better business case but I guess we have to wait and see.

As long as the Chevelle has a 2-door option, that's crucial.
It needs to have the same body profile and styling cues as the 1970, similar to how the 1969 was used as inspiration for the Gen5 Camaro. Nick C.

A modern Chevelle would look nice parked next to my 70.
