Earlier this year Chevrolet revealed the 2013 Sonic RS at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show. Today it priced the Sonic RS from $20,995 including destination with a manual transmission and $22,280 with an automatic transmission.
The Sonic RS features a new RS-specific grille along with new front and rear fascias. The styling is more aggressive than the standard Sonic, and the rocker moldings along with rear spoiler really give this hatchback a sporty look. The 17-inch alloy wheels fill the wheel wells without looking too large for the small car.
While power hasn't increased from the 1.4-liter turbo four-cylinder engine, the 138 horsepower and 148 pound-feet of torque easily move this little subcompact around town quickly. The suspension has been lowered and stiffened with performance-tuned dampers.
Inside the Sonic RS features leather seats with suede inserts with red RS accents. A new leather-wrapped three-spoke steering wheel has contrasting stitching and a flat-bottom design which matches the leather-wrapped shift knob's red stitching when equipped with a manual transmission. Aluminum pedals and unique instrument panel graphics finish off the interior while Chevrolet's MyLink infotainment system will keep you connected.

The GM shamelessly exploits the country with government support. Pitiful!
