Fiance's new car

My girl just picked up a new (2012) Chevy Sonic LT hatchback. She got the 1.4l with the 6speed manual. I have to admit its a nice little car for under 19k. Peppy when the turbo comes on and loaded with options. She got the Crystal Red Tint color, which is pretty close to the Red Jewel Tint of my Camaro. We've been joking about having someone custom cut hockey and hood stripes and a black body kit to match the ones I just had put on my Camaro.

Picture of hers and of mine.

I just got one today too. The cheapest Hatchback, with tax 16.2K. I test drove it before buying it and the little sucker really flies.
My dealer is selling them for a Grand under MSRP through the 31st.

She's really happy with it. Kind of surprised though. I was afraid she was going to want her own Camaro, which she did, and still does, but reality kicked in and she knows she could never have gotten one. I think it would be funny to add a flat black body kit and hockey stripes to match the Camaro.

Congrats on the Sonic purchase.
Bought one for our daughter (she's 15 and just got her temps) and so far we really like the thing.
It is a 2LT hatch (auto/non turbo).
Very nice car for the money.

Nice looking Sonic, looks good in the CRT. !

My Sister just got a 2LT Hatch back Non Turbo with the Auto and
15 inch wheels in bright red not sure if its VR or not.
I have driven it and its peppy for the 1.8 liter !

Your bride to be made a good choice. The Sonic has room for child seats, Camaro not so much.
