I'm sure some have, we just haven't heard them. It's kind of like a tree falling in a woods...

 

Monte quad coupe? Is it the Buick coupes that might be the "too many"?

 

GTO sedan?

 

 

believe me I have..... I'm still trying to clean up the mess sinces F-bod Father's post like 5 hours ago.

I say give me a Monte like the 4th gen and I'll be .....

 

mine is getting there.. my head hurts trying to interpret Scott's post

 

Unless the Monte is considered too redundant with the Camaro....

 

When they refer to Impala/Monte Carlo....I am gonna go out on a limb here and guess they are referring to Chevy's sedan...they just don't know if it will be called Impala or Monte Carlo. It would make perfect sense really to call the sedan Monte Carlo since a) the name has a little more equity than the current car uses, b) the new Monte is a very slight referesh compared to Impala (so replacing it in only 2-3 years is much more paletable from an accounting POV), and c) a large RWD Chevy Coupe would almost certainly be called Chevelle.

 

I can just see Scott in front of his computer screen.....

Takes a drag from a cig....

Takes a sip of iced tea....

Reads all these responses and chuckles.....

 

or goes to level 9.

 

I can't see a car styled after a mid 60s Impala being called Monte Carlo, which has ALWAYS been a coupe and a rather large one at that.

I think he is saying Impala/MC was the options and Impala one. MC is dead, unless it is a package, like the V8 version or something. Even then I don't think it is likely. Outside of Nascar what marketing does the MC have? What is its presence in the market? It is a FWD coupe, a large one at that. It has virtually no cache outside of Nascar. GM won't keep a model around for Nascar when it has SO many names it could use.

Chevelle doesn't fit either. MC could be a quad coupe sister to a quad coupe GTO, that might work. But how do you slot them so they don't overlap.

To confusing this late before bed. Now I am going to get NO sleep. Thanks Scott.

 

How does the Grand Prix and Impala work now???? Just because Pontiac will have the GTO doesn;t mean that Chevy can have a sister version, aka Monte Carlo. It could very easily be like the current GP GXP and Impala SS where the GTO gets the more sporty suspention, and the MC gets the touring suspention.

I believe the key is that they need these supporting cars to make the Camaro profitable, and I'm sure the MC can sell just as well as it is now.... maybe even a little better

 

Looks like Zeta will be pretty flexible. Kinda like Nissan's FM. Now try to shoe-horn some t-tops into one of those Zeta coupes.

 

Actually, Kappa is more suited.

 

But not to 2+2 applitcations.
