The 1978-1981 generation of A (later renamed G) platform cars are just about my favorite generation of all GM cars. Properly downsized, 500-1000 lbs less and a foot shorter than the previous generation. Clean, crisp styling. Still RWD for maximum fun and hotrod-ability.

I go back and forth between them and the Colonnades when it comes to preference.The 1978-1981 generation of A (later renamed G) platform cars are just about my favorite generation of all GM cars.

Hard to say where either sits for me in the grand scheme of things, but I know I prefer A-bodies from the late '60s and into the '70s before the Colonnades came around.
Admittedly I'm on a bit of an A/G kick right now, but I'm also looking to the Colonnades for something else.

The fender work on this thing! 
I'm not an audiophile, but the cargo area's nicely done, too:

The 500B looks more like a truck, to be honest...all big and boxy...

'69 was the peak for Cutlass. Miss my '69 coupe.
A couple Buicks. One of my cousin's built a '72 back in the early '80s. Had a water bed and tv in the back. Keystone Classics on BFGs. Painted the top half of the car black(including painting the windows
) and kept the wood grain on the bottom. Oh, it was ugly, but loud with the 455.

Being that FCA seems to be focusing on making SRT and other performance versions of every car in its lineup, I honestly think it's a possibility that a Charger-based Magnum would return to the market.

^ And because of that, 300C front ends are a direct bolt-on for American-market Magnums. I've seen a couple in person. Early LX Charger front ends are a somewhat-common conversion as well, but the fenders from the two cars have to be cut and blended in a specific way for the body lines to make sense. I was actually considering getting an R/T Magnum when I ended up buying my RSX in '12 and really got into researching that conversion, but the weight of the car kept putting me off. I do so want this, though:
While searching for those images, I found this rendering that includes the rear end as well:
Another dream wagon of mine, despite needing the manual transmission and V6 that were only sold in the sedan variant. I saw one in traffic the other day that sounded like it was at least manual-converted:
