2007 Monte Carlo Review Summary & Specifications
With 38 years of heritage behind it, the 2007 Chevrolet Monte Carlo is a fast, competent, and comfortable cruiser on interstate runs and good fun on back roads. We recommend the handsome leather interior. The SS model promises spirited acceleration, decent handling, and good brakes. This is a car shaped in a wind tunnel with the purpose of getting around a NASCAR super-speedway as quickly as possible. It's not for everybody. But then buying a Monte Carlo always has been a matter of style.John F. Katz filed this report from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania; with Mitch McCullough reporting from Albemarle County, Virginia.
