GM kills the Grand Prix and Replaces it with the G8
GM kills the Monte Carlo and Replaces it with???

The Camaro is coming. Any word on a Pontiac counterpart? Is the GTO a go?

I'd dump the Monte Chevy doesn't need two 4 seat coupes.

GTO and Monaro should share underpinnings but not same as Camaro.

Maybe the Ute will be it's new two door?

I thought that there were maybe some rumblings about the TransAm???? I'm not too in the know though.

Nope the rumblings of the T/A are just a bunch of :mullet: hoping to get their lifestyle back, not going to happen according to Lutz.

The major reason that Chevy brought back the Monte Carlo was to compete in NASCAR. My plan for GM is to bring back the GTO a year after the Camaro, on the same chassis. They have long said that the Firebird will not be brought back from the dead. But they have not said the same about the GTO. Considering the roots of the original GTO, it should by all intents be ahat the new G6 GXP could be if it had a V8 and rwd. The size of the new Camaro puts it just about right. And this time we'll see both hard and soft tops.

Well, Chevy is gonna switch to the Impala for NASCAR. That means that all manufacturers will be running "4-door" bodies on race day. If there are low sales for the Monte, then there is no need for a replacement. The Camaro & GTO will fill the void.

NO no no...

I read the Monte is GONE. Canceled, as is the Grand Prix but as we all know the Grand Prix has a replacement (G8) the real question is does the Monte?

Will there be a "big Brother" to the Camaro like the Monte has been to the Camaro all these years.

All that is out there is pure rumor. Some guys here may know more hard facts than I, but don't count on another Monte for a while.
