I get that one all the time.

 

Kinda like 5th gen Monte's that get called a Lumina. Uh... last time I checked, "Lumina" wasn't spelled M-O-N-T-E--C-A-R-L-O. Same with "Impala".

 

I refuse too get the "Monte Carlo" decal on the windshield removed for that very reason. :p

 

I was referring to the name plates on the side and back of the car. But if you have the Monte Carlo windshield banner, and are still getting mistaken for an Impala or Lumina, there's no hope for the person.

I wonder if there's any 4th gen Monte owners that get comments like, "Nice Grand Prix" or "Nice Grand National -- those things had a V6, right?"

Of course what ever generation Monte you have. When ever you correct the person, their response is: "ahh, same thing."

 

I don't see very many Montes around here, so they seem to be a rarity. I'm always getting people asking me what kind of car mine is...as they're staring at the nameplate on the quarter panel.

 

Only thing mine has been called is a Mustang once

 

Yeah, but you gotta remember the 7th gens have basically the same front end as the Implala. :/

 

rofl!!!

 

Same here,many teachers at school who have been around the 80's montes think mines a v8 and tell me it was a bad choice of car,that results in a fun day...lol

 

yup! most my buddies think im running a 6.
And yup again, got told :
"Hey man thats a sick body kit on your impala"
