How much HP can we get?

To me it looks just like an impala, I always felt the 6th gen headlights curved design helps it really stand out (even though they are unique and it makes it impossible to get projectors and hard to find spare parts) I'v decided I like cars that just don't look quiet like anything on the road, and even though we 6th and 7th gens have the impala and Grand Prix as our sister cars I feel we still push the boundaries on styling and individuality even in the 7th gen. All earlier Gens also just stand out as a unique car, i'm very disappointed Chevy discontinued the Monte Carlo name. Dont get me wrong, I love the new Camaro, but Everybody has one (sorry Chibi, sweet camaro btw). I like to stand out from the guy next to me at the light.

Look at the side profile of the front clip of a '00-'05 Monte and compare that to the same side profile of the front clip to a '97-'03 Grand Prix. To me they look almost identical.
GM is notorious for a lot of similar body designs. But the Monte does have a few "signature" items about how it looks.

There are many other subtle things packed into it.

...the small 2nd row window and its shape, tail light vertical orientation (excluding 3rd and 5th Gens), reverse light orientation. One thing I noticed with my 06 is, if you look at it from the side and slightly from the rear, the profile and overall shape looks EXTREMELY similar to the mid 80's Aerocoupes.
This is getting off topic, but oh well lol.
