I find the NASCAR edition Monte Carlo a little gaudy, maybe it just the grills look so bad it ruins the look of the car.

speaking of the 07 Monte has anyone else noticed that there are only 2 engine choices now, either the 3.5 or the 5.3. I wonder if GM is going to phase out the Monte.

MOnte will be gone soon...especially with the switchover to the Zeta platform in Oshawa. They'll be turnin out imps hand over fist. It may come back, but the sales just arent there.

GM is going to dump most of its FWD vehicles if all goes as they plan.

Monte, Impala, Lucerne, and Grand Prix are the only fwd cars that are supposed to be going anywhere at this point. Cobalt, Malibu, G5, G6, Ion replacement, Aura, Vue, Equinox, Torrent, 9-2,9-3, 9-5, etc will still be fwd, along with Holden, Opel, and Vauxhall equivliants of these cars. The Delta and Epsilon II platforms are modern and are not going anywhere, just the W-body and the big front wheel drive g-body platform.

lol, sorry for the off topic SidewaysLS4... I actually like the stripes as is on that car in the first post. Maybe if the front stripes came down a little farther, but not all the way.
