Along with the Impala sedan, the front-drive, full-size Monte Carlo coupe is recast for 2006, and offers a V-8 powerplant for the first time since the rear-drive version was discontinued many years ago. Standard on the base version is a 3.5-liter V-6 that produces 211 horsepower, while uplevel models get a 3.9-liter version of the same basic engine that adds a variable-length intake manifold to generate a slightly quicker 242 horses. The top Monte Carlo SS model gets the V-8, which is a 5.3-liter small-block that produces a brisk 303 horsepower; it utilizes a "displacement on demand" function that shuts down select cylinders when not needed to save fuel. All engines are mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. Revised suspension systems offer greater control and comfort than before, while the SS gets the stiffest suspension array in the line for the sportiest cornering abilities. Four-wheel disc anti-lock brakes with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution are standard on all versions but the base model, and traction control is also available in addition to front-side airbags. A tire pressure monitoring system is standard on models equipped with 17- and 18-inch wheels and tires. New, more aggressive-looking exterior design cues reduce the Monte Carlo 's overall length by 1.2 inches compared to the '05 model.

Am I the only one?
Am I the only person here that thought this car could have been better. It looks like a Monte Carlo for sure but from the driver's seat I look around and see nothing but my old '88 Thunderbird. It drives just like my Trailblazer which isn't a good thing. If you're used to Chevrolet you won't be surprised or let down. If you've driven anything else you'll find yourself wanting just that. Anybody want to buy a slightly used 06 MC?

Your out to lunch Chuck!
Chuck, thats what happens when you buy an LS. YOu get what you pay for my friend. And my MC SS is stellar! Everyone that has been in it, or drives it says it's great. A luxury car that can lay some rubber at 30 km/h? Give your head a shake chuck. The Monte Carlo SS is a hell of a car.

Rear Spoilers
Hey:
Was wondering about the two styles of spoilers that you see on the SS models, some are flat while others swing up???? Love my 02 SS, have the flat style on mine.
