Why? What does it matter which side it is on?

Why would you want to take away one of my favorite features of the car? I love going to Sam's gas station and skipping the line because not as many cars have fuel doors on the right side. On the whole, I have saved hours and hours because of that fuel door location.
Unless, of course, some jerk is driving the wrong way through the one way lanes...

Why do they show the pre-2012 production photos
Ok, I just saw the photos of the claimed 2016 Chevy Sonic on the
Chevrolet News - United States - Images
Web site and I'm really confused.
The sixth photo shows the Sonic hatchback that's clearly the pre-2012 production model year (it shows 4 lug nuts per wheel), that I believe was the one built in South Korea, not Orion. It's even missing the OnStar base on the antenna. I remember that same photo back in 2011 with the Inferno Orange Metallic paint that GM/Chevrolet later discontinued. So why try to pass it off as a 2016 MY? Wouldn't they be better to use a current 2015 MY with a paint that'll be carried over to 2016?
It's even the same exact photo used for the logo on the Sonic Owners Forum (check upper left-hand corner).
I mean, seriously?opcorn:

apparently the 2016 isn't get much of a "refresher" more of a take things away and add a couple paint colors. hopefully 2017 is the year we get the real changes! this car is already awesome but theirs so much potential in this car.

Gas filler; have multi cars on one side or the other.
The Problem; Once you get used to one model, then take another car, you look like an idiot when you pull up on the wrong side.
Options: A) get back in the car and drive it to the correct side. B) Just pull that hose all the way across the island.
The Requirement: If Option B is used, you must have a passenger with a "I'm with stupid" t-shirt.

The gas gauge has a little arrow that shows you which side its on.. I think a lot of cars have this. Kind of hard to mess it up.

you'd be surprised I actually did it the first time I filled up my tank as my old car was on the opposite side lmao felt like an idiot

Thank you.

Because it's more convenient for the driver, who is usually the one filling the tank.
Like Hawksdsl, I have multiple cars and even though I know the little trick about the arrow on the gas guage, I would prefer the gas door on the side more convenient for me, the driver.

He's totally right, it's actually something i think is cool. Those of us with the Dragon Green are a minority to begin with but now.. we're downright Unique...
Although I have to admit, have you seen the new blue they have... that is sharp, like really .. um.. blue.

I've seen baby/powder/pastel blue sonic that was kinda meh at first but seems like that's going to be the "new" blue. Subaru has an sti coming out with a similar blue and the ford RS has a similar color as well. Pretty sure that particular blue was a '12 color only. Haven't seen anyone on SOF rocking it either

the Ford looks killer, is that the one with all wheel drive? I mean I love my sonic and I test drove the ST, but that thing is a beast and looks incredible, also prob costs 10k over my wheels, but man is that thing pretty...
but this is the one I'm talkin bout for 2016... it's pretty stunning as well...

What's with the comments about the rear floor mats? I have a manual Sonic RS, and it came with rear floor mats.
