An online news source is reporting today that Chevrolet has decided to expand the model range of the Sonic to include.....A WAGON.

While I applaud the idea of a domestic manufacturer adding a wagon to it's model mix, whatever the size, I've never understood why you would market a wagon when you already sell a 4 door hatchback. Now, a Cruze wagon? Seems like a TERRIFIC idea...even if it would be competing with cars like the Jetta wagon.

Which news source? From searching all I can find out about a Sonic wagon is sites calling the 5-door hatch a wagon.

I'm pretty sure you mean Cruze. That's what I read on japlopnik this morning.

I like it.

...AND... it's not scheduled to come to North America... bastards...

Not that I really blame them... why should they bring over a wagon when the snopes are perfectly happy to pay more for SUV's?

Once again....yeah, I was in such a hurry, it's the Cruze and since Chevy/GM is NOT bringing it to the U.S. I really feel stupid.

It's been one of those days,

I guess I picked the wrong day to quit the cold medicene?

Keep in mind the Sonic was banned from SCCA Stock Class. If you were planning on running it.

That's pretty.. shame we are not getting it... yet GM felt the need to sell us the "Malibu maxx" a few years ago?

That looks pretty good. I'm not over my bailout angst yet, so I could not buy a new American car other than a Ford, but I do like the looks of that one.

I think what you meant to say is you could not pay taxes to the federal government.

i think they need to build a 2 door wagon of some sort.. i think the last time GM had one of those was the Vega/Monza Kammback.

In reply to Vigo:

No, I do pay taxes so I've already paid enough to GM and Chrysler even without buying a car. They stole my money and for that I refuse to reward them. If I was to buy an American car it would be a Ford. That being said, I bought a new car a few months ago, and it happened to be a Subaru, so I guess I should just shut up.
