My colour is new for 07, which makes it unique. I get lots of comments about the fact that it looks black in certain lighting, but the metallic purple really comes alive in bright sun.

The colour is great, but by far the most question and comments are for the wheels.

 

yah i like the wheels on your monte, those are the ones i would get if i got that 07 impala ss

 

I would say that because mine is an '06 SSwhichhas the gray ground effects that is what makes it stand out. It's cool when you see another SS out (doesn't happen often) it's kinda like anothe rmember of the family in my area. Usually get a thumbs up and a wave.

I agree with Wiz....Rev's wheels are cool! Wish my Monte had those, but can't bring myself to part with the $ to buy them...lol.

 

Good Question! I think just having a Monte which we now know are not common cars gets a lot of looks and compliments.

There are a lot of bronze Impalas but I've only seen 2 bronze Montes. One LS and another LTZ that Space postedfrom car lot.

So when people first see the car they think, "Impala, no wait, it only had 2 doors.

My guess would be that having a large 2-door coupe is the most eye-popping feature.

 

Right on GPD. It's hard to find any reasonabe sized 2 door cars anymore. This is definitely one of the Montes' stand out features. It'salmost impossible to make a 4 door car look "Sporty". They all look the same. About the only car brandI can think of at the moment that makes a fairlygood looking4 door is Volvo. Some of theirs look pretty good to me.

I don't know why, probably for aerodynamic reasons, most cars today look like they are nose heavy. Most have the high trunk, probably to create mor inside space, but very few cars today have a nice level body line from front to back. Personally, I hate the look of a car that looks like it's plowing snow. Oh well, the designers sacrifice style in the name of aerodynamics, and the extra .0005 mpg.

 

Rev, you had me LOL about the .0000005. This is soooo true.

The only other almost current car that compares is no longer made.

It had my eye for a few years, but I wanted something newer.

The Eldorado still looks great because its discontinued. I think the Monte will hold the same "eye candy" value.

 

I would say that they are common in certain areas. Chicago for example has them everywhere in every color. Going down one block you see at least three of them.

 

Well, I guess they had to end up somewhere.

Here in LA, I can guarantee you there are more Jaguars registeredthan Montes.

 

Well up until the time I started reading post on here I thought it was like that everywhere. Thats why I couldn't figure out why they were discontinuing it. That was a sad day
