GM has an affinity with old names (generally pisses people off eg Blazer) and retro styling which works for your boomer customers. GenZ has no clue, as you pointed out, what a Chevelle is and the last several Malibus have not been anything that would be actually confused with performance, although I recall a Malibu MAXX SS.
Malibu Maxx SS

That is literally the point where Product Development said "We've gone too far". There were guidelines set identifying what could and could not be called an SS.

I'm guessing you probably remember where the original CTS, STS, DTS names came from.

Catera Touring Sedan
Seville Touring Sedan
Deville Touring Sedan

And for a bonus...Alpha Touring Sedan.
