I hope not. It looks too much like Ford's SUV.

I thought that was what the Sonic RS was suppose to be. Turned out to be just a 1.4T with some fancy cosmetics.

And retuned transmission/suspension.

Sonic's RS package actually provides more of a performance upgrade than Camaro's. Just sayin'.

It does, but as an owner of one (wife's car) I have to say the regular Sonic needed a better suspension.

I would love to see a Sonic SS with the 2.0T, but I'm not holding my breath.

I don't know ... Midnight Silver painted 20" wheels probably improves the dynamic response time & rotating inertia of the wheels immeasurably over the Bright Silver painted 20" wheels. By which I mean there is no actual measurable difference. And the body coloured roof ditch moulding ... causes less drag? And the halo headlights ... blind other drivers easier?

Hmm, on second thought you may be onto something.
