i think the monte carlo name starting falling apart in the 80's when GM treated teh whole g-body platform more like a step child than the top selling line that it was.
left with wimpy engines and terribly over weight, they were not great performance cars off the show room floor. not like the monte carlos of the early 70's that coudl be decked out as either full on luxary models, or street legal race cars, or both.
the new impala i think is just too plain. other than comfortable seats it really hasn't got much more to offer than any other GM fwd mid size. it is a far cry from the full size that it replaced that was a unique model with styling, power, and luxary to appeal to everyone.
