2017 model. From what I can tell GM is only building cars with the RS package right now. All 4 of the cars that the dealer received had the RS option and the dealer was only able to request that GM send them some cars. They did not have the option of picking what packages they wanted. The last time I was in the plant I also only saw RS badged cars on the line. It just goes back to what the RS package used to be many years ago.
I prefer the old cluster better, but that may be due to it being what im used to in the car. I will still have to get an Ultra Gauge for the car to give me the gauges that GM still insists on not having on the Sonic. The main one is coolant temp.
From the quick look at it i suspect that you would have to swap the bumper cover with the tail lights. It looks like the tail light comes out further from the body than the '12-'16 models. I need to compare the two better some time.

Friggin sweet, man. Glad they made the mustache bigger, it wasn't noticeable enough on the old model

I prefer the first phase tail lights better than the second phase. I think the first phase mustache with the second phase headlights would have been a good look. I still prefer first phase look over second phase, but needing a new DD since my older car had a shotty repair means I deal with the new look.

How is the front bowie attached? Could you debadge the front if you wanted to?

I have not had a chance to check the DRL operation yet to check out the LED strips, but I assume that is what they are. I will try to confirm soon.
Possibly this weekend I will have a chance to check on the bowtie.
If I have time on Sunday I may look into swapping suspension between my Sonics.

It looks really nice. For me, there are pros and cons to the new styling but I'd be happy with it. Love the projectors, love the LED drl strips; the big black bumper, nope. Looks like silver colour. I really like silver on the Sonic.
Say, are the first here to show a purchased 2017?

Im not a fan of all the changes, but overall it is the same car underneath.
I dont know if its the first purchased 2017 or not, but that is not a huge worry for me. I have seen quite a few running around by me over the past couple months, but those were all GM vehicles.
Both of mine are silver as is my truck. Not exactly the plan but more how it happened.
