If not "gone," then verrrrrrrry limited!
Just think of all the econoboxes they'll have to sell to offset the "guzzler" cars...

I'll do my "part". As soon as Chevrolet makes that Sonic available with a performance suspension, wide tires/wheels and an uplevel engine, I'll buy one.

That "ugly assed split window" would be an option I imagine and you may or may not recall it is a classic. I suggest your opinions are like butt holes, we all have one. By the way I love the split window design.
