First Drive: 2012 Chevrolet Sonic
2012 Chevrolet Sonic - First Drive - Automobile Magazine
B-nice.

Subcompacts -- B-segment cars, in world lingo -- have come on strong lately here in supersize America. Ford added the Fiesta to its U.S. lineup last year, joining established players like the Honda Fit, Nissan Versa, Hyundai Accent, and Toyota Yaris. Three of those four have just been revamped, and now Chevrolet has ditched its underachieving Aveo in favor of the new Sonic.

Usually, how a car drives, not how it looks, is what wins us over.

Usually, how a car drives, not how it looks, is what wins me over. Completely scratch that with the new Chrysler 300 SRT8. Even though the sedan's insane amount of Hemi power is intoxicating, its stunning looks are even more seductive. While I prefer white paint on this model, our black 300 still had me swooning. The front grille is like a black lipstick smirk on an attractive fascia. The car has a great stance, and rides on a set of black-mirror-chrome wheels that immediately grab your attention. Everything on the dark exterior is a turn-on.
