Chevrolet Monte Carlo: Midsize Sporty Car

We think J.D. Power & Associates stretches by calling the Chevrolet Monte Carlo a sporty car, since it drives more like a big coupe from the 1970s. The real surprise, however, is that the MC beat out the Toyota Solara and Honda Accord Coupe to win this category. When buying a Monte Carlo, try to find an original owner because many of these passed through rental fleets on their way to the used car marketplace.
