Yep I'm trying to remember where I read that. Maybe Car & Driver? Anyway they are taking it off the production line. They will prob bring it back when they release that V8 RWD Impala in like 2009.

If I could afford it, I'd take a Vette over my Monte any day.

Thank you Mr. Montejass for your post. You really help
the MCF members. We have some super Moderator's.

I thought I read or posted this before about the end of production:
As of September 2006, production on the Monte Carlo has ceased. The Oshawa Car Assembly plants are undergoing a retooling for Zeta platform capability, and it is unknown whether the Monte Carlo will return or not.

Our `Monte will be the last FWD `Monte's

This link post, why does it mention the 2006 Montes as the 7th generation when everyone says this is incorrect?

One thing I know for sure, 95% of those monte carlo's sold went to the united states for sure. In Canada, NOT ONE dealer in the greater toronto area had one. (At least 10 chevy dealers) They had to go into the suburbs to get mine. I asked my dealer WHY there are none to be found and he said "its a very niche car and we dont want to be stuck with it at the end of the year, we maybe sell 1 or 2 a year" so since January 2006, I have seen 2 others. Including mine that makes 3.

Definitely a rare car up here in canada!

RJ, Who is everyone ? Let me know & I will contact them & ask them.
I guess it's a good debate ? I asked my Dealer & they were not sure, but
stated they would ask their Chevy Rep. To me personally, I don't care if
it's classified as a 6th or 7th generation. Maybe ?, we will find out when & if
Chevrolet makes a new RWD Monster Monte on the Zeta Platform in 2009/10?
Will it be a 7th or 8th generation `Monte ? I won't hold my breath [:@] I
really think that the Top Management at Chevrolet are on Drugs[8D][:'(][:-]
