Re: 2006 Monte Carlo pics

I like it . Yeah its overall the same car , but it took away all the qwikiness about the current car . I always liked the greenhouse and midsection of the monte carlo , but the front end ruined the car . Looks good , but shoulda been the undate a couple years ago

Chevy is still CLUELESS about wheels with the mainstream cars

I'm not impressed with that at all. They could have done so much more.

I like it. No big change, but a nice improvement.

Re: 2006 Monte Carlo pics

It's a freshening, people, not a new car...

I like it. I like the front end much better, the wheels are cool looking.

The rear looks a very similar, but I like that anyway...

Can't wait to see the supposed new interior.

Also mentions the optional 303 hp V8.

The new front looks a lot more NASCAR. Add that with the V8 and NASCAR fans down south should be all over this.

Re: 2006 Monte Carlo pics

looks like the cobalt sort of
i hope they don't start doing that to all their cars (take most of the same identifying features and just duplicate them for all mainstream cars)

Good points.

I thought 06 was all new for the impala and monte, my mistake and in that case for just a refresh they look good.

Re: 2006 Monte Carlo pics

I like it a lot!!! It changed what I hated about the old one. Indeed, the new wheels are very Cobalt SS-like, but that isn't a bad thing. I always liked the side detail and hated the front.

Looks good to me...with a V8 and a new interior, I'd buy one.
