I saw a couple of Veranos on the street today. Both were driven by elderly people, but a sale is a sale. It's a very attractive compact sedan. Shame on GM, though, in letting it stagnate. There's so much they could have done to keep it fresh and get some attention. Yes, they could have moved up to the 2.5L engine. Or they could have gone all-turbo, with a lower-power version of the 2.0T as the base engine. Heck, they could have even added some new colors. Instead, they didn't do diddly squat for 2014 or 2015. And thus the lower sales and layoffs. Very frustrating.

Agree.

The Verano is an "Old Man's" car due to it's pricing structure which I have been saying for years would kill sales and doom the Verano and think there are 160 people that might agree.

Yes, the Verano needs those updates (2.4 to 2.5) and still do not understand why GM does not offer a NA version of the 2.0L for a lower entry priced Verano with an MSRP near 20K.

No sense being frustrated, this is GM, it is what they do.

The Sonic and Verano are probably two of GM's most competitive vehicles. I found driving the Sonic better than the Cruze.

Sonic is not a bad car outside of a small tweak or two to trims, but when was that last time you saw an Ad for one?

Why isn't GM screaming that it is the ONLY car in the segment made in the U.S.A.???

Because GM's marketing is braindead? I've never seen a company as large as GM with marketing as ****ty as theirs. It's absolutely ridiculous.

Incredible, isn't it?

Out here if you are not an enthusiast you would never know Chevy made anything but the Silverado.

The Ads are non-stop; how does that create an image for Chevrolet that it offers fuel efficient cars that can be fun to drive and affordable (at least in the Sonic's case)??

I have never heard one person even mention the Sonic even when they are considering a Fit or Fiesta and I forget they even make it more often than I would like to admit.
