Silver Sonic LT Sedan spotted in Lansing, MI

[SRGilbert]

Just happen to be driving by Bud Kouts Chevy on Michigan Ave in Lansing and spotted my first meatspace Sonic. Funny thing was that it was parked over on the side with the "Pre-owned" cars.

I've obviously seen a lot of pics, but I was wondering if I would recognise my first one when I saw it. One look at the headlights as I was driving by was all I needed!

They were closing, but a sales guy took the time to talk to me. Turns out it was already sold, but he seemed to think they might be getting more in next week.

Pretty sweet.....

Nice looking Sonic. I really like it in Silver from the front angle.

Surprised they didn't have a matching Sonic hatchback in silver or white

Finally took the time to test drive one tonight. It was an 1.8 automatic LT Hatchback in Crystal Red Tintcoat.

The wife and I sat in front while the sales guy was in the back. Took it out for about 40 minutes or so, around the college and on the highway for a bit. I kinda hate test driving to be honest. I'm not a big car guy and haven't owned a lot of different cars, but I can tell when I don't like something. This I liked!

We talked a lot about the 1.4T Automatic (he had no idea when it would really come out) but he is going to push to see if he can get his hands on a LTZ in Inferno so I can really look it over.

As it stands right now, I'd have no problem buying the 1.8 auto IF I didn't know there was a Turbo coming out in the spring.

after owning the 1.4, there is NO way i would own the 1.8

then add my loathing of craptastic automatics on top of it.. no no no.. 1.4 all the way.
