supreme_style21 Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 I just found it funny the forum blocked out 'cock' from 'cockpit'. I dunno what my opinions are on the new style... I think its gonna have to grow on me. One thing though, WHY THE LACK OF GAUGES. C'mon GM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfewtrail Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 I'm not sure about the new style either, I guess I'll wait until I see them in person to decide. I like the V8 though. 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White93z34 Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 :| looks like a civic crossed with a cobalt. why oh why do they need to mess with perfection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 Check out the specs for that 3.9. 231CI/3791cc. It's a damn 3.7, or 3.8 if you round up. I suppose it's easier to sell the engine if they say "But it's bigger than the 3.8!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1990lumina Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 Am I the only one that likes the new style? Other then I think GM could have done a better job in the interior... - Jeff L. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 they are nasty on that site and even worse at the autoshow. The rims are the same for the cobalt, monte ss, and impala ss. WTF? I don't like the direction chev is going with the more rounded look as opposed to the sharp lines on the caddys. Later Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnatGoSplat Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 I actually like the front end of the old ones better, and I didn't like the front end of the 00+ Monte at all. The interior looks nice though, and that V8 I gotta get for a swap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeZ34 Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 I think it looks pretty good.. The interior is pretty bland though... but most all of GM's interiors are that way now. The lack of gauges is the biggest complaint I have, for a performance model you'd think they'd change the cluster some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manitcor Posted March 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 Im really digging the new style, ive seen alot of people who are screaming about how crappy it looks and that it is crossed with this or that. If I were to say it was any type of cross it would bea 5th gen front with a 6th gen style rear and some new accents and what looks like a very nice looking interior. Im liking it so far so much Im seriouly considering saving my pennies for an '07 becasue we all know the 1st year of a new body is riddled with problems.

Dirty Rockstar Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 I absofuckinglutely hate it.. Now I know the year range to get.. 95-05.. (Preferably 01-05 Hi-sport appearance).. Chevy tore a page from the Kia book and made a life sized Rio.. This kills me.. I am a HUGE Monte Carlo fanatic.. And this pisses me off.. EDIT: It looks to me like they're taking a step BAKWARD in airbag steering wheel design: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose it's easier to sell the engine if they say "But it's bigger than the 3.8!" LOL, I noticed that too. And IIRC the 3800 is 3792cc so it's actually BIGGER than the 3900!

Garrett8 Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 i dont mind the interior, i dont like the cobalt front clip on it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOHC_WBody Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 The LS4 is an awesome motor in a shitty wrapper. It'll be better once it's taken out of that packaging and put into something with a bit...err a LOT more style... I'm thinking LS4 + 94-96 GTP = teh sexX0r.

Brian P Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 just be happy Chevy still has a mid-size coupe. What other ones do GM offer? Seems like zero! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luminator94 Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 I like the whole damn thing! I don't see anything to bitch about, I'd take one in a heartbeat! Well....it should be RWD, but that aint gonna happen. Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 why oh why do they need to mess with perfection. Maybe their idea of perfection is far from the truth. To be honest I dont think I ever liked one single FWD Monte Carlo ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HokemBokem Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 The interior looks cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z34_nut Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 I saw it in detriot, and the interior I think is better then all the modern GM interiors. but I've stated my opinion on where GM is going. The thing about this interior is the meterial, its soft, but firm, (not stiff and might give a little like the previous generation) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terryk2003 Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 well...i guess there was only 1 pic taken of the new monte... :? ...we couldnt get into the interior or anything because it was roped off...but, here's what the outside looks like: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z34_nut Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 Why didn't you just check out the impala that was next to it? Same interior basically. I gladley reached in and carfully inspected the interior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gladley reached in and carfully inspected the interior. well, FYI: i was @ the Greater Cleveland Auto show...the cars were BOTH roped off...the impala was in front of the monte, but you couldnt get to it either...
