I agree, it's been neglected. I think that the newer model with the updated interior and exterior are the nicer looking ones and are arguably improved from the version we've had for some time.

But I don't know if that's enough to save it. The Monte Carlo was always supposed to be an honest, blue-collar luxury coupe and that's fine. But it also doesn't have the best brand awareness outside of the NASCAR crowd. Perhaps it's time for a change...
