Reposting because we worked relatively hard on this and it got lost in the midnight shift.
Midengineer and I made a video overview of my Sonic. It's my first try at actually editing together a proper video. Let me know what you think! We had lots of fun, so more will come soon.

When you go to auto-cross are you sure its not because you are with Jake and the Murdersofa?

Yeah, I'm positive it isn't. I've run autocrosses that he hasn't been too and still get comments about the Sonic.

Thanks! I do like the way my car sounds quite a lot. I'll have to get some more driving clips when the weather is nice

Man it has been so long since I've heard a car video without dubstep that I forget they existed and for that you earn a star.

The Chevy Sonic RS: proof that Chevy has absolutely no idea how to market anything with less than 8 cylinders. GM as a whole has a grip of fun small cars that nobody knows about because they doesn't tell anybody about them.

What, you mean this ad didn't get you excited about the RS?!
To be fair though, they sell a fuckload of Sonics. It dominates the subcompact segment.

I think I saw that ad maybe once a year ago. Most of the Chevy ads I see are the ones about their maintenance plans. The spike in Chevy sales this year was more due to people being enticed to buy a new car while their car was at the dealership getting recall work done than anything done right by their marketing department.
As far as I know, you're the only Sonic RS owner here. Meanwhile, there are about half a dozen FiST/FoST owners here. What Chevy cars have the automotive press been nuts over recently? The Corvette Z06 and Camaro Z/28. Both are excellent cars and both are fully deserving of the attention they receive, but where's the press campaign for the Sonic RS? Why isn't the Internet going nuts over the six speed manual transmission and 2.0L turbo in the Buick Verano? It's because GM doesn't know how to market their own cars. It's the engineers who are doing all the marketing for them.
I'm not trying to put down the Sonic RS. It's a great car and you made an excellent choice. I'm just saying that the bureaucracy that runs GM still has its head firmly planted up its own ass.
