| I like the overall design and function of the new Monte Carlo. The sales are dropping on the Monte because they have no sales group particularly. Kids who want the speed and hoursepower think they are out of the movies, and go out and buy their little 100 hp civics and little rice burners like everyone else. It is a large 2 door car, with a V8 (well v6 if you don't have the SS) The Monte has a select market type. People like me who like it and respect the HP have kids and can be won over by the Impala due to having 4 doors. It is just a hard market out there for a large sized, 2 door V8 car. Alot harder than a 2 door gas sipper, or a 2 door small coverible coupe with 200 HP, or even a high powered 4 door sedan. Think of the Solara, or other like style cars....they have sales issue too, and Toyota pretty much owns the market right now for car sales. GM for the first time in a long time reported a profit, so if the best selling car in America (yes I hate to say it, but it is true) Toyota can't sell a large 2-door sedan, how can our beloved Chevrolet do it....I think they (short of small mods we would all like to see) Have designed the Monte in the best profitable way possible....."hey guys...we aren't selling these....what can we do to make our fellow Americans buy it?.........throw a big ass engine in it as an option...yeah that will do it" Hey it turned my head....haha | |

Replying to: nicklesage2000 (Jan 28, 2007 8:51 pm)  &  I bought an 06 SS and I have had nothing but problems with it. I have replaced the dash twice and it is now coming apart again. The power steering pump is going out. There are creaking and cracking noises coming from up under my car. The back end had to be repainted, the tire sensors are constantly going off. I have never had this many problems with a vehical and Chevy will not do anything about it but give me the run around. I did not pay $32,000 for a car to end up in a rental all the time. So I know what you are going through.

I have test drove other 06 SS and the dashes in them were also lifting up. BE CAREFUL ABOUT BUYING AN 06 SS

| I recently purchased a 2007 Monte Carlo and was dissappointed to find the Chevy emblem on the airbag/horn cover was dented. Apparently the entire airbag has to be replaced to correct this visual defect. I researched and found other Chevy's have this same problem. The dealer claims because it is not recalled that it can't be fixed under the warranty. Has anyone else had this problem? Does anyone have any creative ideas on a way to cover that center emblem? I think Chevy could make a simple stick on replacement cover. I hope to hear some feedback. | |
