Actually, the 7th Gen MC was FWD even with the V8. I remember reading somewhere that the front tires spun out real easily on the V8 models. But I guess that that makes for easier burnouts.. It still had the Impala nose, but the suspension and possibly the transmission was beefed up to handle the extra weight and torque of the V8. Or so I read..

 

Whoops sorry that was a typo I meant Hated that it was FWD

 

Just wondering, but have you ever driven one?

 

it's funny that nobody likes the front end. . . that's most of the reason i like the 06 & 07's. I really liked the look of my 96 ls and liked the body lines of my 02 but hated the nose of it because the grille got downsized and i didn't like the "nostril" look, so i was extremely happy when they brought the grille look back. might be the minority on this one but i love the front end. . . . especially since it doesn't have the taller lower grille that the impala's have. Wider makes it look wider, lower, and i'd say meaner (which is always welcome)

 

Responded to the wrong thread... Sorry.

 

Sorry man. The Monte Carlo used it's own front end.

 

HAHA! says the person with the only ACTUAL impala nose. just playin millermonte

 

LOL. I actually searched through the forum to find that picture. That's why I accidentally responded to the thread earlier. I couldn't let the accusation go unrefuted!

 

miller, i like the look with the impala front end better anyways if it means anything hah

 

I agree. I personally don't care much for the 6th gen.
