#21 of 5865 etharnon, coyboy by redskin024 Dec 01, 2000 (4:05 am)
etharnon>>>> new Monte's are butt ugly... dont get me started on how GM butchered another classic, just like they did to the Nova and LeMans. The rear end looks like something with a load in its pants... ugh.... coyboy>>>> my dad had this happen when he had the 95. it was a black one, so we new it when it happened. but we cleaned it out once and i dont believe it returned again....
#22 of 5865 Aurora vs Intrigue by marcy42 Dec 02, 2000 (10:39 pm)
Etharmon - I have the Aurora 4.0 It is a great car! Love the V8. I prefer it to the Intrigue just because. In day to day rat race driving, however, the Intrigue is a fantastic automobile, and probably a better value. Value is everything, it it?

I don't necessarily think the Intrigue is a better value than the Aurora as they are two different types of cars. I will say that both the Aurora and the Intrigue are a great value when compared to other similarly priced cars in their class.
#25 of 5865 At Least two Postings Since by Henry Dec 05, 2000 (2:01 am)
There have been at least two postings since I have said something so . . . . . SOMETHING.
#26 of 5865 Monte Carlo by Henry Dec 05, 2000 (2:08 am)
The New Monte's look like a 2 door Impala (as did the prior genration look like a two door Lumina). The REAL MONTE CARLOS had style. Afterall, it is the SHAFT CAR (Yes the black private DIC that's a sex machine to all the chicks). I noticed that in the remake of the movie, that was the car that new SHAFT drove. I could not help thinking while watching the chase scence in the Lincoln Town car . . . "If only they had an aROARa."

MT says the aurora V8 lacks torque. A five speed trans would help that dip between first and second.
#28 of 5865 b4z: motor trend ... by dcchristopher Dec 05, 2000 (4:37 pm)
I just read the "first drive" article about the AV8 and I didn't see anything bad mentioned. By the way, here's the link to what I read, please post yours if different: http://www.motortrend.com/april00/oldsaurora/oldsaurora_f.html Even if they did say something bad, this is coming from the same people who named the PT Cruiser CAR OF THE YEAR ??? Low expectation mo-fo's! I do have to admit though that the engine _can_ be tuned for a more "performance type" of shifting. When playing games with others at traffic lights it almost seems like one will leave you behind until you hit the 30's. At that point it is an unpleasant surprise for them: Vzoom! Hmm, I guess it adds a little bit of suspense and disappointment for them ... I think I like that Perhaps the Aurora engineers did that on purpose ... not!
#29 of 5865 Monte Carlos by dindak Dec 05, 2000 (9:23 pm)
Have to admit the new 2001 spoiler is softening me. I am really starting to like the loos of the new generation Monte Carlos a lot. Still prefer and Intrigue or and Aurora though.
#30 of 5865 cold air blowing (Henry) by gisom Dec 06, 2000 (12:41 am)
Ahh the warmth of good ol heat blowing at you when it is 18 degrees in chi-town. Henry, the air mix door was stuck. I did have to go to the dealer to get it fix tho. Got charged for one hours' work. Heat is blowing everywhere now.
