Last Malibu we had was a '72 350 back in 1990. That one was probably cooler, but not better. This 2020 is classier and surely rides better. Actually it's a whole different world.....but isn't everything? lol Anyway, here she is in all her glory.

The RS package looks better than I expected. I've also seen a dark blue one in person and it was pretty slick.

Do you have any pictures of the 1972 that you can share here? I'd love to hear more about it.

Yes but that 3.6L twin turbo will cost you about 100K at least. If I'm going to fork out that cash Chevy can't compare to the GTR.
:unsure:

GM has sold several turbocharged 3.6L vehicles (ranging from 410 to 464 horsepower) and none of them were anywhere near $100,000. The Nissan GTR is a pretty old sports car at this point, both the Corvette and Camaro offer less expensive models that eat its lunch. Nissan doesn't really excel at anything these days, seems like they ran out of money.
The GTR is over $100,000 because it's a purpose-built super car with a specialized 500-600 horsepower racing engine, using a turbocharged V6 layout isn't the expensive part. You'd be surprised how common turbo V6s are these days.
