Wow...so many references to what our parents drove or what they handed down to us.

Are the images above carryovers from 2006... or is this what the 2007 car will look like? The satanic front end has got to go....it's a black eye for the car.

If the colors are as shown above, what is the difference between the Deep Sapphire Blue and the Midnight Blue? Also, did you notice that the Lucerne is showing a "Tuxedo Blue" option for its interior? Buick really needs a blue in the stable for the LaX. Blue, if fairly dark, can be construed as a contemporary enough option. I think its the burgundies and the greens that SCREAM "old school" and GM will stay away from them (though burgundy is my favorite interior color for a car). I could definitely do a blue on blue LaCrosse...with a sportier grille.

Just 1. 1992 Regal 3800 coupe Had 2 Cutlass Supremes as hand-me downs. Plan to buy new with GM Card proceeds fairly(sigh) soon

Agree and disagree.Most of the new colors are tacky and gross. Purple? Come on. Some nice blues would have been better. It will be interesting to see what the crimson is. Thank God they're keeping white - the best color for this car anyway. Yes. Lifestyle package is the folding front seat. They should just make it standard, like on the Malibu. I just wish they'd tweak the front end a little bit.

How about a new front grille? That's what it REALLY needs. Hate to see the Glacier Blue go. They just needed to deepen it some. I hope the new fabric in the CX is better than the mousefur. Looks like the 3800 stays. Amen. So, Paulie, are you going to pop for this car???

We had other variants of these cars, but I wish I could have back either 1. A 76 or 77 Cutlass Salon coupe with a 260 c.i. Rocket V8 2. A 81 or 82 Cutlass Supreme Brougham coupe with a 260 c.i. Rocket V8 Just today, I was on an engine list website pertaining to GM and it praised this little engine for its smoothness and longevity.

Absolutely on all of these counts.While I didn't have the base engine, I don't think the difference would be that big in everyday driving...and I'll take the extra MPG. Shift indicator - could have an indicator, but need not be illuminated. remember, it's in the instrument panel Spoiler - yes, ditch it, I like the clean trunk look Wood - even faux, better than the silver applique Two tone of the tan or gray - right you are, the base Malibu even does this. There is no excuse. I think that the black bits stuff crap is offensive. A tan interior needs a tan steering wheel and a tan dashboard. Period. Above it was posted that the Monte Carlo does not pretend to be anything else. Correct. There is no other car occupying that niche. Now, I like it but I don't love it. I think that, given a pencil, I would make some changes that could improve it. Have you imagined it WITHOUT the fender creases? I would still be a Monte Carlo but look a helluva lot better. Also, I wish the "knight" emblem would appear SOMEWHERE on the car.

Yep. Put that ladder away, PB.

Hilarious! The "white trash" label is because of the NASCAR association, right? Sorry, I had forgotten The O.C. did a review, but his focused more on the engine. He doesn't like the car itself very much, either. (Come to think of it, I too got a little bit of vibration at idle...but it was intermittent). Remember, the Monte is a throwback to the late 70s Cutlass Supreme, mid 80s Toronado/Riviera type of packaging at a budget price. It's not a bad car, really, it's just not up to date with everything else we compare it to. That's true.

So then, you're spanking and not patting!

Crap, how can I forget Toronto and the Windsor area - a boatload of C&Gers in those parts!

Right, right, for the over 35 crowd, it's probably more of a sputter...quick patting yourself on the back unnecessarily, PB.
