if all goes well, this is what I am ordering this week. I am driving a lesser model to see if I like this car on Monday. This is a 2012 Chevrolet Sonic LTZ. It has the 1.4L Turbo Ecotec, 6 speed manual (lifted from the Chevy Cruze). I am ordering it with all the options including the sunroof and 17" wheels in Victory Red.

So is it just the red ones that float through infinite blackness?

no, i saved the picture from the "Build It" section of the chevy.com website. The picture was too big for UER's post limits, so I resized it in Paint... unfortunately, the floating in infinite black was the side effect.

I am actually surprised... i was expecting at least 15 hate comments.

Meh, I was going to go into this who thing about you and knowing better and etc. But then I realised I have owned and loved some really fucking weird and dumb ass cars in my life and still do. So who am I to judge. Drive the white letters off it Sam, and prosper.

totally agree, i drove a 92 sunbird 4 door in old man silver with flames on the sides

I love the car company that created Christine, so I'm not one to judge either.

And I have no complaints on the Sonic like I said. GM figured out how make the Aveo right.

There's nothing wrong with Christine!

Yes. They killed it. And made a new car.

if only someone would tell my GM hating woman a chevy optra isnt a GM

the Sonic is on the same chassis as the Cruze, albeit shortened and lightened by 500lbs.

Its also built here in the US, not in the old Daewoo plant in South Korea. That makes a difference because Daewoo's production engineers don't know what QA is! Sure, you guys make fun of the domestic plants for missing brake pads, but as Jeremey Clarkson said it once, those two fat guys in Tennessee make a good car!

actually, the Corvette is made in Bowling Green, Kentucky.

I like this woman of yours.

with left over cobalt steering wheels from Lordstown right?

what do you care? you wouldn't know what to do with one if you got one.
hard to accept that they're world class sports cars isn't it?

World class sports cars with leaf spring suspension and pushrods.

I've never been a Corvette guy, the first time I rode in one I was disappointed, the first time I drove one I was disappointed, the first time I worked on one I was disappointed. They just feel really cheaply made, and the attention to detail sucks. (Glue drips hanging from all over the underside from bonding the floorpan in, the way the doors just kind of slam shut instead of a reassurring thud, cheap interior plastics... just little things that would have taken very little time and money to fix). I had a few customers with current generation ones when I worked for GM, and they just drove like overpowered '88 Irocs. Still not as disappointing as the build quality of the Viper- oh my GOD.

For that money I'd be buying a glorified Beetle. (911)

Please realize this isn't an attack on GM or anything, I've tried many times to like the 'Vette (And I love the other 'vette... Chevette) and have yet to be impressed. The owners are generally just undeducated rednecks with money who think they own the fastest supercar car in the world, too. (Out of the 8 Corvettes I used to service regularly, three of them were totalled in a year, two of them were drunk driving accidents. One of those was a cop.)

The '63 Corvette is exempt from these opinions. It was pretty.

that is the bane of a mass produced sports car. we're not talking about a hand-built exotic running 6 digits on the window sticker. We're talking about a mass produced, relatively inexpensive sports car that will run with a handmade exotic.

You've got to look at it from that perspective. And the Viper, that made the Corvette look like a damn Veyron.

by the way, no new car for me... still stuck with the same old cobalt.

Sorry to hear that Sam. And for the cash, a 'vette is hard to beat.
