Rumors on GMInsideNews this morning stated that the aging Monte Carlo coupe would cease production and leave the Chevy lineup this June. We just received confirmation from General Motors that this is indeed true; the Monte Carlo will be no more.
We can’t say we’ll miss the Monte Carlo. It was a woefully outdated design and didn’t fit into the “new” GM, where performance will come from new rear-wheel-drive cars like the Pontiac G8 (next year) and Chevy Camaro (in 2009). It also allows Chevy to clear showroom floors for the all-new Malibu, which comes out this fall.
For those Monte Carlo fans in mourning, you can post your epitaphs below.
