The aggressively styled 2006 Chevy Monte Carlo heats up the sizzling mid-car
segment with enhanced premium-quality features, racing-inspired styling, a new
family of powerful engines, as well as thoughtful attention to detail. A new look
for the front and rear fascias – including bold headlamps and taillamps – is
complemented by revised suspension systems that deliver comfortable, quiet and more
confident ride and handling characteristics. These new ingredients improve on an
already popular recipe for driving satisfaction.
Monte Carlo draws on a rich NASCAR stock car racing legacy – the most successful
nameplate in the sport's history – to offer one of the industry's only true midsize
personal coupes. The vehicle has remained true to the roots of style and
performance established at its introduction in 1970.
"For '06, Monte Carlo delivers more of the performance and style demanded by
customers, but with an increased emphasis on comfort, roominess and driving
manners," said Brent Dewar, General Motors North America vice president of
marketing and advertising . "We fine-tuned the details to deliver a value-driven
vehicle that delivers unexpected refinement."
A new family of premium-feature V-6 engines is available in LS, LT and LTZ models,
including a 211-horsepower (157 kw) 3500 3.5L V-6 and an available 3900 3.9L V-6
that uses variable valve timing and variable intake technology to help deliver 242
horsepower (180 kw) and 242 lb.-ft. (328 Nm) of torque.* The muscular Monte Carlo
SS has a new 5.3L small-block V-8 that's good for 303 horsepower (226 kw) and 323
lb.-ft. (438 Nm) of torque. The 5.3L V-8 uses Displacement on Demand technology to
regulate between eight-cylinder and four-cylinder operation, providing up to 8
percent improved fuel economy in certain driving conditions.
All engines are matched to the Hydra-Matic 4T65-E four-speed automatic
transmission. This smooth shifting transmission is renowned for its durability and
strength with high-torque engines. The version mated with the 5.3L V-8 is enhanced
to match the engine's increased torque output.
