Hi `Keane, I'd be happy with a twin-turbo one.

LoL `Keane, it's not `Noise, it's music the v6 turbo & V8 just play a different `tune...

I have 2 agree that some of the best auto tunes are from a V8 with the whine of a SuperCharger >WoW<

How about an base model with V6 an LS with a (single) Turbo V6 and a SS with the V8 from the Camaro SS no mechinical changes would need to be made. the Brakes suspension and interior would need to be Chevyiezed-(not a real word)

I guess what I am saying is that it would take very little effort from GM to make this car the basis of a new Monte Carlo.

There was some article recently in a car magazine that said something like 2-door coupes are "me" cars, meaning that they're a more personal type of car than four-door cars usually are, and I agree. Coupes just suit me well, always have.

So that's one reason I've always liked coupes, and with Cadillac's sharp modern style, I definitely like the ATS coupe. They look fabulous (although Cadillac's ELR electric hybrid coupe is even sexier!).

Anyway, I like the photo of the dark red ATS-V propped up on its side. Nice true dual exhaust setup, isn't it?

As for translating an ATS coupe into an all-new Monte Carlo... I'm afraid it may be a while before Chevy can justify having both it and the Camaro at the same time anymore. We know it's possible, though, since the MC returned from the void once before...!

It looks good from the front. Awful from the back though. I'm a booty guy. For it to be rebadged to a Monte Carlo, it would need to have a big booty.
