    Pretty bad PS...look how the grid texture in the grille openings is kinda tipped to one side. Also looks like there is ah, some kind of rear steer going on there.

    I would think that rather than a body-kitted Sonic with the same 1.4T I would go for a Fiesta ST with about 65 more hp and double the torque of the regular Fiesta.

    Second recommendation for the commenting system: make it so that the whole post appears in the window where the comments box is - not just the "before the jump" part. Usually, we're commenting on the post, and it's nice to be able to refer to the post when commenting.

    I'm with the author on this one, that one particular Sonic does look pretty good. It looks more SRT4 Neon than clapped out Civic. That all the body panels are painted the same color helps I'm sure.

    would need in the 140-160hp ballpark which should theoretically be doable with exhaust and a tune but it would still not be near as fast as the fiat abarth but at least you can fit more crap in it. but still a 4 cylinder camry would likely pull away. i say it is plenty powerfull already and just go for a better brake package, wheel package and a coil over suspension.
