Pretty impressive though what a waste of a classic ! The safety differences are amazing, the dummy in the Malibu would have air bag rash, the dummy in the bel air would go to dummy heaven ...

I agree what a waste of a classic car. The only way it could be worse is if it were a Impala.

Yeah, a real waste of a classic car.

Ah the not so good ol' days.

Even if the airbag did NOT deploy, the new car protects the driver far better. Better redirction of impact loads in a structure that weighs less.

Now if GM could figure out how to made their cars keep the interior trim glued in place...

That and have some rear wheel drive selections in the regular line-up- But that's just me.

What waste? It's just another Chevrolet.
