The 2005 Chevrolet Classic and Malibu are not directly comparable because they represent different models and body styles. There's no "2005 Chevy Classic." The Chevrolet Classic was a nameplate used later, typically referring to rebadged Daewoo models, and those were *not* available in 2005.
In 2005, Chevrolet offered the Malibu. This was a mid-size sedan. Therefore, the comparison is moot; one is a model that didn't exist in that year, and the other is a specific model.
