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?

if cruze see above...
if sonic...it would be based on this
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?
i like driving the Sonic. it's much better than i expected.**
**the transmission is still terrible.

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.
