No a sonic ZL1 would be awesome

I'm fond of hot hatches but I'm laughing at GM right now. The 500 Abarth and Fiesta ST are going to run circles around this. There is going to be a Sonic SS right?

Totally agree with Jason.

I'd take a Focus or Fiesta over this anyday.

Zachary Maurer Dec 19, 2011
Ohhhhh they added a new bumper and chrome exaust tips! Knowing gm they will charge another 5 grand for this, Honda fit, ford focus st or scion tc anyday, this looks like a transformer did it up with an aveo

Mike Bradnan Dec 19, 2011

Avery Williams Dec 19, 2011

Maciej Moryl Dec 19, 2011
Nice and big interior for such a small car v
