It's funny but there are some serious similarities in the designs of these 2 generations...open to interpretation I guess but I see the G body as a retro 'mini' 1st Gen redesign. Yeah, I know...I'm a bit slow & should have noticed before now.

Never noticed before, but you are right! The 78 Malibu was retro before it was cool!

im glad more people are noticing these cars the last few years. ive always loved them. my first car that i actually drove was a 78 2door malibu when i was 16 (34 now). since then, ive owned probably more than 20 g-body cars, 13 being malibus. ive actually met the owner of that silver car at a maliburacing meet back in '03, if its the same car im thinking of. same color and wheel combo.

They are pretty quick & nimble. You can really make them fly w/ the right power combo & it doesn't take much since they are smaller & lighter then previous generations.
