Justin, over all your Monte is beautiful, but I think the details on the hood graphics are exceptional!  Very nice!

Nice site
I have an 06 Monte LTZ. Laser Blue, with gray int. Has all options that was offered.
Got it at the end of May. The dealer since then has tried to buy it back from me TWICE.... After trying to figure out why the truth came to the top when they came out with the 07 model.
GM STOPPED MAKING THE LTZ IN O6... SO IF YOU HAVE ONE HOLD ON TO IT....
Go figure you still can get an impla with a 3.9 in but not the monte.
 
I also have a 95 Monte it is way under power for the size car it is but has over 100,000 and still going strong with no major work done to it.

Welcome to the site Mike!  Don't forget to tell us a little about yourself in the new member area.
 
That Laser Blue is just a great color.  That would have been a running up choice if it wasn't for the deal I found on E-Bay when I got this one.

hey welcome to the site :) how do you like your second monte so far??

We love the 06 Monte.
Its a great car so far. Only has 4000 miles on it,
Nice big seats. Love the heated seats (helps this old back out)
My daughter has an 07 stang with a 4.0 in it..... The Monte will walk away from the stang with no problems.
I cant complain about the car....
PISSED WITH GM
since it wants to be all the other three car companys in nascar........ and is opting to replace the Monte with a 4 door
car. Almost makes me wonder how much push NASCAR  is behind this..... Since the Monte has won more races and championships then any other car. I hate to see that GM is welling to put this car on the shelf....
GM NEEDS TO LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE OUT HERE. MONTE CARLO LOVERS REALLY ONLY WANTED A FEW CHANGES TO THE CAR. MOST OF MAKE REAR WHEEL DRIVE. Not that this old man is complaining cause im not. I dont race mine so it does not matter to me..... LOOKS ARE THE REASON WHY I GOT THE CAR......
It feels great to hear people say how nice your car is..... and mine does turn a lot of heads.....

Silver 2006 LT3, 3.9

black 1995 lumina w/3.4dohc and silver 1997 monte z34

2004 Dark Grey with Silver - Supercharged
2007 Black Amythyst with Silver 5.3 SS - on order
 
Prior to these an 2001 Carmine red SS
 
I love the damn things - hate to see GM shelving the car, but positive it will be back - If they really wanted to sell them, a little advetising would help - How many TV commercials / Dealer Showroom posters / Newspaper Ads do you see featuring the Monte??? and they cry about slow sales - go figure.
