| Walkaround | |||
As slick as it is aerodynamically, from an esthetic standpoint the Monte Carlo looks as if it were designed by a committee. Individual elements are quite attractive, but we're not quite satisfied with how they hang together as a whole. It's probably just how the final product came out when the engineers and designers emerged from the last wind-tunnel session.It may also be because this latest Monte Carlo tries to integrate elements from the model's past with an overall shape that's like nothing else on the road. Some will love it. But the droopy nose, the flat flanks, the bump in the deck lid and the radical roofline may not appeal to everyone. What you can't see is just as important to the integrity of the Monte Carlo and, in that respect, we have to give Chevrolet high marks. Compared to pre-2000 Monte Carlos, this one has been strengthened in the roof, doors, and floor pan. An aluminum front cradle isolates the engine, transmission, steering, and suspension from the main structure of the car. The interior features a cast magnesium beam, called a MagBeam, that fits behind the instrument panel to further increase chassis rigidity and provide a stiff mounting for the dashboard systems. As a result, the latest Monte Carlo is much quieter than any previous generation. Increased chassis stiffness also makes the car less prone to squeaks and rattles over time. |
