Bought my wife a brand new '75 Monte Carlo. My late daughter, then at 6 years old, called it the 'Mommy Carlo'. Can't vote for anything but the Chevy!

I like both but that first generation Monte is a great looking car. I voted for the Chevy. 😎✌️

Tough call, but I voted Pontiac.

Years ago I would have voted for the more sporty (IMO) Monte Carlo, but now I vote for the "sports luxury" Grand Prix. I always saw the Monte classification as between the Grand Prix and Chevelle. Both are really nice cars.

Owned a ‘70 Monte Carlo, those bucket seats were so comfortable.

I found the Monte Carlo very appealing.

I had to vote for the Chevy! I don't like the "landing strip front end and hood" on the Pontiac.

Both are nice, but it's the more refined Monte Carlo that gets my vote.

I went with the Pontiac, with that big 400ci big block, 300hp and a 0-60 time of 7.6 sec for a car of it's weight it moved.

Yep, that's why it's my pick also ! The MC would have me yawning while walking out to drive it whereas the GP would have me running out to get in, drive it, and be excited to be in charge !
