I am in the initial stages of starting to look for a Monte to purchase. I have narrowed it down to either a 2006 LTZ or a 2007 LT loaded. Any opinions on either model? I like the dual exhaust and HP rating on the 06 alot and am leaning towards that. The 06 has all the options I want as well. Any pros/cons, suggestions would be appreciated.

The LTZ would be my choice, I have an '06 3LT, same engine and everything of the LTZ just doesn't have all the luxury stuff which if fine by me. The 3.9L has been a good engine to me so far, but then again I'm still just shy of the 50K mark.
