How is my liking of a car with a unique style being hypocritical? It may be little more than an impala coupe but they actually made it so you can tell what car it is...
You seem to hate the Impala and Malibu because they are a disgrace to the nameplate, yet somehow the Monte Carlo isn't. The original Monte was a 2 door personal luxury coupe which (along with its cousin the Grand Prix) had a massive hood and sculpted body lines. It featured large V8 engines (including the famed 454) and powered the rear wheels. In 2002 the Monte is a fwd V6 whose styling cues were taken from Nascar. Style wise, the original monte wasn't even terribly unique: the profile was esentially the same as a Grand Prix, the front and rear glass were from the Chevelle as was the trunk lid and other parts, and styling cues came from the El Dorado
