So the Chevy Sonic is out and...
... I feel like GM doesnt care about making it known it was released. I saw the coming soon website about 4 months ago when we were browsing cars for my GF. Now if I get my new job Id like to get a turbo 6 spd sedan to commute with possibly.
Am I the only person that feels the cars release went under the radar? I mean no commercials, no advertisement nothing that Ive seen.

I loved it at teh Philly auto show, and like you said, just went under the radar. I know my wife likesthe Mini coopers, but I would be interested in trying to push her for a Sonic.....doubt she'll bite though.

This was the first car I saw walking into the Philly auto show, and ended up being my best photo of the night.
Sexy Sexy! I really like Chevys entry level cars now, the Cruze is sweet and the Sonic I think just as good if not better.

WBT.....you need to stop giving me epic ideas. And now I play the waiting game.....
Chevy Sonic Z spec that's black with the orange rims if you search the photo areas of google. Change the rims and the ornage stripe to white, make the thin white strip red, and the rest is blue. Please, can someone photo shop that in those colors? thank you.

Good questions. They are just now having press drives. Lots of the marketing will be internet based.
