It kind of reminds me of a mix of the fusion and Impala. I Don't think they will make an ss version of the sonic. I think GM recently said they were not trying to compete, atleast in performance to the rest of the segment. Though I think that would be awesome. After the ss Cobalt, a rep from the lordstown plant said He had a feeling that GM would think twice after giving what seems like every car a "ss" and "rs" badge. From what I understand a few people have really got some decent performance out of their sonics, I wonder what quarter mile times you can wring out of a sonic? well some random thoughts from a fan =) cheers
