IIHS Ratings Have An "official" weight

[Boomer]

Went to the IIHS web site to look at all those "Good" crash test ratings, the site included the weight of the "LT 4-door". So it looks like "2800 pounds" is a good round number.

2012 Chevrolet Sonic LT 4-door

Touch My 2800 lb Sonic

AT LAST. The Ins Inst gives the weight that the STONE-DEAD GM PR types that do not read this board did not. Geeze!!!

Weight to HP of Sonic is Equal to Cobalt

Just compared Sonic weight-to-horsepower ratio to my Cobalt (bigger engine, weighs more) and they are IDENTICAL. My Cobalt has PLENTY of low end grunt to get onto the Freeway-Merge. Add to this the Ins Inst EXTREMELY HIGH RATING for crash survival safety and I am COMING BACK to Sonic. GM may very well have a SWEET WINNER with Sonic. Made in Michigan by UAW members! We might have a real Rice Burner Destroyer in the Sonic!!!
