The side view makes it difficult, but I'll say: 1975 Chevrolet Malibu Classic. Could be a '76 though. Don't remember the show.

Good guess, it.s a '75 GM B-Body, not a 'Bu though.

I think Kojak's Buick was that style, but I can't tell if that's actually a Buick.

Well, the nose isn't an Oldsmobile or Pontiac nose, as far as I can tell. So this must be a Buick Century.

Geez, how many '70s TV detectives drove GM B-Bodies? Of course it's Kojak's 1975 Buick Regal.

when did Kojak start driving a Chevelle?! I don't know what the site that image came from says, but that ain't no Regal. Regal sedans were a lot more curvy, with front fenders that had a Monte Carlo-esque "french curve" that swooped down as it went back. Here's a pic of one...

 
For 1976-77, the Century and Regal coupes, got more squared off, angular styling, but the sedans kept that swoopy style through '77, after which they were downsized and the Regal was returned, temporarily, to coupe-only status. They did graft stacked rectangular headlights onto the '76-77 sedans, though.

Yup. Definitely the Volt.
Just watched the unveling videos yesterday.
 
Too bad it is still 2 years away. And probably 2.5-3 years before they are readily available (meaning no wait list). GM finally comes up with something that people will fall over themselves to get, but by the time they get it to market, they will probably already have been leap-frogged by Toyota/Honda.
