Losing the Impala is drastic to me...the front legroom is much better than the Malibu. I'm 6'3" +, 240 lbs...broad shoulders and the Malibu is cramped. In the Impala I can put the seat all the way back, great comfort for me and the Impala at 45 + inches legroom fits me well. The trunk space in the Malibu is less than the Impala , we need lots of trunk space on holidays.
You are making me miss my '72 Chrysler Newport. Once I opted to take the '70 Impala (before downsizing at all) and my wife wanted to know why we took the small car, she wanted more space.
'73 Newport
In 1971 I worked for a guy who owned a small company. He had a 1970 Chrysler 300, with the 440 V8. I drove it once of twice...huge car, but it was beautiful and great seats, very comfortable. Same green colour of the Chrysler as in the link you posted. They were huge cars.
Got a 66 300 convertible with a 440 in my garage right now. It's big alright, as long as the 01 Dodge 3/4 ton short bed I used to have and wider.
