{{Note1}}The metric G-body was actually classified as an A-body from its inception in 1978 all the way through the 1981 (possibly up to '87) model year. These cars are sometimes listed as A-bodies as a result, but are actually G-bodies.

{{Note1}}The metric G-body was actually classified as an A-body from its inception in 1978 all the way through the 1981 model year. During the 1982 model year, RWD A-bodies (including the A-special coupes e.g. Monte Carlo, Cutlass Supreme) were renamed the G-body (which was first used in 1969 with the Pontiac Grand Prix) when the A body designation was used with its midsize front wheel drive automobiles (Celebrity, Cutlass Ciera, Century, 6000). These cars are sometimes listed as A-bodies as a result, but are actually G-bodies.
