oh, yes. There is a Sonic RS Sedan. I thought about it for a Brilliant Idea, but Chevy beat me to it. You are in the Chevy website this morning aren't you?

It hasn't been around long then, because not that long ago it wasn't on the website.

Yeeaaahh, Chevy is my main go-to manufacturer website. /fanboy

Yeah, its quite recent.

I try to limit myself to going to a car website 2 times in a month at most. That way, every time I get in there is something new to see. Also, I try to go for foreign car websites, like VW Brazil or VW deutcheland since I know spanish and a bit of German so I can understand them.

I get on Vauxhall and Holden's sites a lot because they have completely different cars from the US lineup for the most part.

Wait, you can read VW Brazil's website... where they speak Portuguese.. by knowing a bit of Spanish?

Wow, I just tried myself and it's not too bad with the pics everywhere.. good to know.

Thats cool, I always go on Argentinian or Brazilian VW since the ones they build in Brazil and come to Mexico make an appearance there before. Its like I can see the future.

Is the Dusk Edition or Performance package up there yet?

Dusk Edition was there and gone in a matter of weeks. I haven't seen anything about a performance package yet.

The PP was supposed to give the cars an extra 10hp/15tq. And handling/braking upgrades all around. I don't know if it would be on the site or not. Might be like the old Stage upgrades where you only find them at the dealership.

That's probably it, because there's nothing on the site about it.

It's a shame. The engine is capable of so much more. But this is the only way to keep your warranty...

Chevy really needs to start offering those stage tunes on their small cars again. Those tunes could easily jump those small motors up to 200 horsepower, and that would make for a FUN car.

Or start making more SS cars, because just the Camaro, Corvette and SS aren't enough. They need fast small cars again, especially considering from a performance standpoint, the Cobalt SS was one of the best FWD performance cars you could buy back then.

It appears that the customization options are all but completely non-existent. Colour options are limited to white, silver, red, or black. You can't get the coloured mirror caps and accents.

Meh.

That how it is on the Hatch RS, except they offer blue.

So...why? Why does the sporting option not have the sporting options?

Might as well grab the LTZ and spec the 1.4T.

The LTZ doesn't get the suspension tuning and 4-corner disc brakes.

That's unfortunate.

I'm not inherently against packaging, but GM's packaging choices have always felt off-key to me. I like the Sonic, but I want it to look like the LTZ and have the performance of the RS. I suspect I'm not the only one, either. Forcing people to choose between looks or performance is not how you win hearts and minds.
