Nav Screen Comment: It needs to be optional
One thing I did agree on with Brian is it's missing an optional Interactive Navigational Screen that should have been offered this year with the OnStar System. It's now available for the Cruze and I believe the Sonic should have it too.
Sure you can get an aftermarket nav system like "Tom-Tom" or "Garmin", but they're not linked together with OnStar. The price has come down too so it's more affordable than it was a year ago.
I do have a gut feeling we'll probably see one offered in either the 2013 or 2014 MY Sonic.
I am curious on his comments about the 1.4L Turbo.
I mean, it's expected that turbo's will have a brief delay in acceleration response, right? He seemed to dwell on this a little more than usual and I wish he would have done a comparison on other turbocharged cars (Cruze 1.4L?).
There certainly was no misunderstanding on Brian's feeling towards the Aveo… heheheh...

I thought it was odd too. I'm sure I didn't drive it as much as he did but the only thing I noticed was the jumping off in 1st quicker than I expected. I think that was probably just aggressive throttle tip in though.
As long as you remember it's only 1.4L and youre not going to get tire shredding acceleration at 60mph in 6th gear you will be fine.
