Okay here is my take on it. I think this is a fantastic car... next Monte Carlo um no please.
In my eyes, Monte Carlos were always big luxurious cars, but they also packed a good punch. The above car just looks like a sports car to me. It's not a full-size coupe, it looks like a mid-size. The interior screams racecar... a Monte Carlo is supposed to have a nice comfortable luxurious interior.
That car = sports car and nothing else.
The Monte Carlo = Luxury and sport. Heavier on the Luxury.

True, but still, i would buy it on a heart beat. I'd rather have it this way then it being a dead car. Besides, who is to say that if they WERE to make it, it would be just like this. They might make it a bit bigger and refine it a bit. Maybe add a little bit of luxury inside. But the over all look is great. I Think it would be great step forward.
Mike, Members, the Law of Constant Change as a fundamental law of our life that needs to be both understood and harnessed if we are to have a happy and successful life. The Law states that everything in our life is in constant change, constantly in the process of becoming something else. Nothing stays exactly as it is. Nothing. Movement and change constitute the reality of our being.
So let the Monte change with `life as we move in2
our futures
...4-Sure 
Our finances, our friendships, our career possibilities, our life opportunities, our health, our children, our parents, our daily activities, our insights, all are forever changing and becoming something else. To many this is a frightening and daunting phenomenon, as most of us crave stability, but stability is an illusion, and you and your circumstances will change whether you like it or not, whether you want them to or not, because they cannot and will not remain the same. It is the law and nature of who we are as human beings having this extraordinary experience of living a life. I don't
think we can Stop change..., even when it ends
for us, for all....Go EnJoy your `Journey,
and hopefully in a future Monte Carlo

NO I will not give up the luxury part of the Monte Carlo. That is what attracts me to them. They just feel like a luxury car on the inside, but when you step on the pedal, you feel the sports car.
LoL `Mike, your mind is set in Stone : )
That's why Gov't Motors is going 2 make
a luxury Caddy for consumer's like U
4-Sure.

I disagree on the luxury thing. I don't feel there is anything luxurious about my Intimidator SS, other than leather on the seating surfaces. Trucks have more luxurious interiors than what's in my Monte. The only real "luxurious" Montes, IMO, were the 3rd gens. Yes, there were some nice fabrics, but I'm sorry, an early SS 454 is sporty. Refinements, yes. Luxury, no, for the most part, the LS packages being the exceptions. Besides, this is just a concept car. Have you seen a 5 pt harness in anything production?
Sleek, sporty, and refined. That's what I want and do drive. I want one in black, with a 6.0L and twin turbos! If they make it, they will sell. This is a GREAT looking car, unlike the GTOs, which looked like everything else. The G8 is a better looking car than the GTO, AND this is a 2 dr hardtop! THAT is COOL!
Come on Holden and GM. Are you listening?
