The Monte Carlo is symptomatic of the disease; it's not the disease. When you have a headache due to a brain tumor, you extract the tumor, you don't simply take Tylenol for the headache. So simply dropping the MC doesn't address the MC's problem, per se. The MC as an affordable coupe made by Chevrolet was not a bad idea. It was executed poorly. Funny that the only solution GM seems to find is to drop the car and walk away from the market. That's what I lament. It's not that I hold any special fondness for the car itself.
