The general population would not see a Malibu as being a fast car as for the last what 40 years it has been perceived as a slow, old persons car. Where as the Impala could be especially taking into consideration the popularity of the show Supernatural which used an Impala. Public perception matters most in marketing which is why I think the Impala is more likely to be used than the Malibu.
Nothing "horrible" about my comparison. LOL! You possibly have a broader definition of muscle car than I do. I don't consider a 4-door, wrong-wheel drive vehicle a muscle car. Sport touring sedan or some other euphemism maybe. And as a side note your Malibu perspective is possibly what could occur to the Camaro nameplate if it's attached to cars that are more pedestrian in nature.
