Space, I just found this on the net.
According to Wikipedia, the 3.9 option is the "LZ9"

It looks like the "LZ8" option is for the SUV's

I like your assessment, but I could also understand why some of the posters here miss the signature headlights that are missing on the '06. When I see '06 or '07 Montes in my rear view, I can't help but think of some slightly older Japanese looking car. Jut my .02

Just an FYI to check for "accessories" thru gmpartsdirect.com. They are generally cheaper than thru a GM dealer. But I haven't decided if I like those chrome tips or not. I've gotten my windows tinted and love it. The new cars are loads better than the older ones. I used to have a 2000 monte carlo. The '06 is smoother, quieter and much more refined in it's power delivery.

They have lost the distinguished look. Has anyone been to a rental car lot lately? They all kinda look the same now days...

SolaraSlayer now has a rare Monte (No more LTZ's & no 3.9L V-6).
I read in one report that Chevrolet is considering using the 3.9 engine for the 6cyl in the new Camaro. Please post if you have any infor....Thanks`Space
Interesting information. I just bought an '06 LTZ on last wednesday afternoon. My local Chevy dealer found the car for me. They bought a 3LT, and LTZ for me to look over.
I had been talking with the saleslady there about buying an '06 Monte (I already owned an '86LS and wanted an '06. 2006 - 1986). We had test driven a 3LT and SS but the payments were extremely high for me. So this lady offered to keep looking for a 2006 Monte for me.
Last weekend on saturday we headed over to the dealer to look the cars over and test drive both of them. We kept the 3LT from saturday - monday. On monday we went back and they suggested I take the LTZ for a day.
I got everything with it except the V8 and Nascar inspired gauge package the SS has. My girlfriend loves the heated leather seats.
