With so many bargain models and SUVs on the road today, sophisticated driving is hard to find. That is unless you're looking at the new 2006 2007 Chevrolet Monte Carlo. Harnessed by a four-wheel fully independent suspension, the Monte Carlo features a racetrack-inspired aerodynamic shape, providing a stability that Chevy experts talk about in every Monte Carlo review. A stunning fusion of fire and finesse, the Monte Carlo comes in four models.

No other nameplate has won more NASCAR Winston Cup races and championships than the 2006 2007 Chevy Monte Carlo. The V6 engines feature chrome-silicon valve springs that stand up to high engine stress and speeds. The 3400 V-6 engine offers best-in-class V6 EPA highway fuel economy, and generates 180 horsepower at 5200 rpm and 205 pounds-per-foot of torque at 4000 rpm. The 3800 V-6 engine cranks out 200 horsepower at 5200 rpm and 225 pounds-per-foot of torque at 4000 rpm. On top of all of this, Monte Carlo performance is enhanced by other features, including a strut tower-to-tower steel brace that enhances the car's precise driving response, and Electronic Traction Control, which helps maintain traction by reducing wheel spin on most slippery surfaces.

As you'll read in every Monte Carlo review, this car looks great, too. On the outside, a low sloping hood, a raised rear deck and liquid lines evoke passion and a true excitement. The car boasts 16-inch wheels and tires, heated outside mirrors, foglamps, and an optional electric sunroof.
