I would say there is a seventh gen, new frt end, new drivetrain line up...
Yeap, I'm starting to think that including the new suspension, wheelbase, aluminium engine frame, we are really close to a new generation car. Of course, a perfected 6th generation car would be just as acceptable to me.
When I first bought it, I wasn't impressed with the new front end. Now after meeting other Monte owners at car washes and gas stations, I've gotten many compliments on the new styling. My friend with an Intimidator said that he wished he had my front Grill on his car.
The only negative thing I've heard is a guy tell me he didn't like the way the XM/Onstar antenna upset the lines of the car. Other than that, the compliments continue.
BTW, the "corvette" exhaust have most people thinking that the LTZ has a V-8 in it and it seems like every SUV and Ricer wants to race me. Maybe its just my imagination.

This clip is from the link on the upper right hand of this website which says, "2006 Monte Carlo."
Exterior
When designing the new Monte Carlo, Chevrolet wanted to display not only fine sports car design, but General Motors building quality. All cars were inspected for panel to panel body clearances of no more than 3.5 millimeters. Large chrome trimmed headlights combined with 3 bulb light housings allow for extra bright lighting to aid the driver in nighttime driving situations. The new headlamps provide more visibility to the sides and further ahead than previous models, and the new feature of the low beams remaining on while the high beams are activated help to intensify the high beam effectiveness. The door handles are the recessed style, flush to the door and color matched to the rest of the car. Flat bladed windshield wipers have been added to enhance aerodynamics along the windshield and help to eliminate noise and streaking. The front fascia has upper and lower grille sections both with black diamond cross hatch pattern inserts. The Monte offers a flattened style rear decklid spoiler, and the SS comes with a spoiler similar to that shown on the NASCAR Monte Carlos. The SS also comes with a full lower ground effects kit which wraps the entire car. Halogen fog lights are available on the LT model, and some standard on the TZ and SS models. Wheel options are available in the form of a 16 inch polished aluminum wheel on the LT, a 17 inch polished aluminum wheel on the LTZ, and an 18 inch high gloss polished aluminum wheel on the SS. The LTZ and SS models also offer a large, dual outlet exhaust system, similar to that seen on the new Corvettes.
