Better front end for sure--all cleaned up. Wheels look like Cobalt SS. V8 sounds good too

 

Gettin better. Would be a LOT better if it drove the correct set of wheels.

 

Ok, they did a good job fixing the hideous front end, now why didn't they do the same with the rear?

 

I like it a lot. has a slightly aggressive look to it which is nice. They could have done something to the back but it isnt all that necessary. good job chevy

 

Pretty much my opinion. They took that "spare tire on the back" look and molded it into the trunk, and it still looks funky.

Better than the current one, tho.

 

Listen here boy, it still aint drivin' them back wheels. We dunt like em' frunt drivers.

Seriously though, the new front end looks great! I like Chevy's new look.

 

Am I'm the only one so far to like the current Monte??? I own a black one; looks like my next car will be one too!

My only hope is that these new GM cars come with a killer ad campaigns.

 

Could we.......lower the vehicle a little? geez, talking about gap between the tire and fender.

 

For a certain segment, Monte Carlo hits a bullseye.

Recently, I was talking to someone, a non-enthusiast, who is in his 50's. He had purchased a Monte Carlo and he told me why. He said, " I've always wanted a Monte Carlo, to me,the car just says class". Initially, I thought that was a sort of silly comment...but you know what, there is a whole niche of people that feel that way.

If you're looking for a large coupe, with high percieved style, FWD and now a V8....Monte Carlo owns that segment.

I think a FWD Monte Carlo makes a perfect stablemate to a smaller, sportier, RWD Camaro.

 

The reason I heard most for why someone would never buy a Camaro is RWD. The FWD market is big and can't be ingnored. Monte is the perfect compliment to the Camaro. Once the G6 GXP comes out GM will have a nice FWD performance lineup.

 

Awwww, look.... Monte and Cobalt had a baby.

 

You are exactly right, and there is a big whole in GMs line up for that market, since they killed the Riviera and Eldorado. The market has thinned out, but its still there, GM really needs a couple of more large coupes.

 

You're right. If all you do is read forums like this, you'd get the impression that GM should replace ALL it's cars with RWD, especially Monte Carlo......which would, of course, be a big mistake.

I believe a car like the MC....with it's FWD...has it's place in the Chevy portfolio and is positioned perfectly. If we get a proper Camaro and Monte Carlo remains in production for the foreseeable future....I strongly believe it should remain FWD.

 

Monte Carlo means class?

Around here, it's roughly translated as "I live in a trailer park, enjoy WWF, and my sunday best is a wife beater and jeans."

Class is Mercedes, BMW, Lexus, etc.

 

Hmmm......Thats strange because around here thats the way Mustangs are
