Another coupe bites the dust
Last Updated:
GM will stop production of the Monte Carlo in June.
No replacement is planed.
The next Chevy coupe will be the new Camaro.
Sales were way off year after year.

Good riddance to an archaic rental coupe and redneck NASCAR staple.
GM just killed off the ugliest car on the planet !! I hate GM but I have to give them credit for finally getting this eyesore off our streets !!!
It’s about time. This relic had the all the style of a 1974 Cordoba, the interior of a 1980s Cutlass Supreme and the drivetrain of a 1991 Lumina. Getting this off of Chevy’s showroom floor will clean it up and make room for some of the awesome new cars GM is launching.
Sure, RIP. Chevy will probably RESURRECT it in 5yrs or so. just like camaro.
I actually liked the look of this version of the Monte Carlo. Especially the front end. But man if any car in the world was begging for rear wheel drive it was this one! I was also never a fan of those cheesy pushrod v6 engines and painfully long in the tooth 4 spd autos. I wonder if there is a market for an extended wheelbase camaro for a new Monte Camaro in the future. Perhaps not though…look what happened to the Thunderbird.
you course you kidsare stupid enough tobeleive bs like that
the monte carlo lives and will go on for a long time
i am planing on getting anew one next year and i will
this is just more anti american crap
I always laugh when I see someone driving a Monte Carlo, who would buy that POS ? oh yeah douchebag jones lol
Maybe GM is finally showing some sense with some good, new cars and dumping the ridiculous Monte Carlo.
The Monte Carlo is a massive, impractical POS that is perhaps the ugliest new car available from any manufacturer. It’s the same size as the far superior Chevy Impala.
What could be dumber than a large, 2 door relic that’s enormous on the outside and undersized on the inside (at lease in the back seat)?
The Monte Carlo’s style has always been “controversial” which is a another way of saying that it’s a styling mess.
Good riddance to this dinosaur!
GM brought out a long wheel base coupe with RWD, the GTO. No one wanted one.
Rumour is that Holden are designing a new Monaro different to the Camaro on the same platform. Maybe will surface in the USA as something.
It surely is a sad sign of the times when an ‘American Icon’ is trashed by the next generation of automobile buyers in this fickle world we now live in! To all of us who knew and loved the Monte Carlo we bid you a fond farewell! Thanks for all the wonderful memories old friend! You had too much class and style for this current twisted world.

It has nothing to do with being fickle. It has everything to do with the MC not aging gracefully. The Monte Carlo was a hodge-podge combination of the worst automotive elements of the last thirty years. The design was trashy, the interior was comparable to Kia, the platform was a joke and the resale was laughable. In another generation, it used to be an icon of automotive style and engineering. However the last generation MC grew into a symbol of everything that is wrong with the domestic auto industry. So much was wrong with this car, it’s almost difficult to know where to start.
With all the staff cutting and plant closings, they still need to be able to make cars that sell. GM and the others will have to cut the slow movers to rationalize and be able to crank out the models that do sell. Next will be the cutting of make names (Buick and Pontiac).

Amen!
If only NASCAR would die with it.
