				A Monte Carlo SS is a fucking 2 door lumina. Anyone who disagrees is a marketing dept. tool.

 Or, just smarter than the average bear.  The Monte is a 2-door Impala.  There is no Lumina. 
I'm a die-hard GM nut.  They build a good car, make reliable powertrains, are fuel efficient for their respective classes, and offer decent performance for the dollar.  I won't buy much in the way of Japanese cars, except the Nissan Maxima, and maybe the Altima.  For the most part, they aren't as fuel efficient, nor have as much "pep."  I agree that general build quality is a little better, but anymore, the gap between American and Japanese automakers has greatly diminished.  Both countries have yet to catch the Germans.
