Biggest gripe about 5th gen Montes.....
 
I have a big gripe with how the fender/wheel cut-out is not rounded out like the 6th and 7th gen Montes. I don't think or remember if this was ever discussed before or I may have missed it in the 3 years I've been a member here? A couple of work friends were outside today and I pointed it out to them and they were really taken back when they also noticed it...

That really dosent bother me about 5th gens, the main thing that does is the fact they are basically 2 door luminas.

It's also noticeable with more 90's GM makes, there is a 90's something Regal at work also and the cut-outs aren't rounded out either......:confused:

If it makes you feel any better, in 1969 (which is considered the best looking 1st Gen Camaro by many) they took the roundness off the wheel wells and flattened them to give the car a meaner stance :)

So just think that way, instead of the way you are?

Same here :thumbsdown: Someone at work was like "Hey is that a lumina?? Looks great!" I don't see why luminas aren't mistaken for monte carlos. They practically look the same, yet luminas seem to be the name of choice.
