Here is a quick, fun video for your viewing pleasure! Really interesting to see all of the creative advertising stunts the Sonic is being put through.

Alright kiddies, looks like popularity is rising with the Sonic and the folks over there at Chevy are taking notice. This past week GM reveled the RS package for the 2013 Sonic will debut at the North American International Auto Show. The subtle styling improvements are a welcomed addition. The proposed RS front facia is more appealing and reminiscent of the earlier Sonic concept images. Along with the exterior RS package is a very nice interior trim detail. But Chevy does not stop with styling on the 2013 RS. It is also reported that the RS line will be the only Sonic to offer 4-wheels disk brakes and stabilizer bars. These are improvements I personally am looking forward too along with the lowered suspension and improved stability. Kudos to Chevy for the noticeable improvement with the RS over the proposed Z-Spec line which really misses the mark.

Chevy is at it again with demonstrating the all new Sonic's flying abilities. So far we have seen Chevy drop a Sonic from an airplane, off the top of a makeshift building, and now... well, you will just have to check out the referenced video link above to see for yourself. Rob Dyrdek recently performed this stunt where he flipped the Sonic in the air and landed it. Cheers!

My very own brother currently is a University of Florida (UF) grad student who recently notified me of a Florida Gator themed Chevy Sonic driving around the city. So I decided to jump on the internet and do some searching. Sure enough there indeed is a UF Sonic called the Swamp Sonic. According to the facebook fan page the Swamp Sonic toured the home football games and a number of other events. One of the many photos even featured a number of UF Cheerleaders posing in and around the 2012 Chevy Swamp Sonic. Now the next image I would really be interested in seeing would feature Mr. Tim Tebow himself sitting behind the wheel of the Chevy Sonic. Wonder how much room the drivers seat of a Sonic would provide the large fellow? Sonic fans should like the Chevy Swamp Sonic facebook fan page.
It was not clear if this particular promotion was a joint effort between the university and Chevy or by either individually but it was interesting to say the least. This Florida Gator themed Sonic is similar to a Penn State Sonic from a few months ago.

According to the Chevy "Let's Do This" website Chevy has officially canceled the sponsored "Game of Firsts" in which winners would be awarded a new 2012 Sonic for completing on a variety of photo challenges. The administrators cited technical difficulties resulting in the cancelation. Although disappointing for those who faithfully competed there is a glimmer of hope for future promotions according to the website. For more information please visit, www.letsdothis.com
