That styling debate fairly sizes up the whole car. If you're looking for a trim, spare coupe that's sporty without being embarrassingly exhibitionistic, you're not likely to be a Monte fan. If, however, you like a somewhat Rubenesque approach to design, have a weakness for 1970s Detroit ambience and light up at a low price, Monte's just your style. On sale now. Striking to see, surprisingly pleasant to drive, relatively inexpensive to acquire.
Test Drive appears Fridays.
