Would you trade your Sonic for a Code 130R?

[rdss]

I put a solid 18 miles on it the day before I deployed! Man, I wish I could be a "Biker". Between keeping my son as much as possible while I'm home (gotta get him to school and home...) and the just flat out down pours durning the summer it makes it hard to ride. I put 8K on my CBR 600RR in a year, the Nightster is 4 1/2 and has almost 4. Alex is almost 5, I wouldn't trade my time and sacrifice with him for anything though!

Bungee cord him to your sissy bar. That's what I do with my son.

 

[slitzell]

agreed.

now, don't get me wrong; more power is always nice, but I'm perfectly happy with my tiny, pathetic 1.4.

Thanks. It needs some riding love though.

I'd trade for the 130R in a heart beat if they hit these simple requirements:

- Keep it under $20K for the base and mid-levels with a top line (LTZ/SS) 2.0T right at $25K.

- 2700 lbs or less.

- Put it on the mothballed Alpha-mini platform that was originally to be used for the Solstice/Sky replacements.

I want a 'merican BRZ/FRS fighter.

As long as it doesn't look like the car pic's above.

If it met my requirements, they could make it look like the ambiguously gay duo's p3nis roadster and I'd still buy it.

I would have no interest in this at all. I went into the market looking for a hatchback to serve as daily driver and light cargo hauler. Discovering that the Sonic (pretty much alone in the segment, especially in the sub 20K area) is also fun to drive was a bonus, discovering that with a few mods it would have me laughing my way down onramps and smiling about it all day was an even better bonus. Discovering that it served much better as a cargo vehicle than I ever expected, taking on about 95% of my tasks instead of the 80% I was shooting for? Ring the bell.

Trade it in five doors for two, hell I'd be crazy to do that, I'd end up using it no more than 50% of the time, I'd be stuck in my old F150 if I ever wanted to do anything other than take GF to a movie, and oh wait, is there actually a useful back seat in there? No thanks, I'll stick with the Sonic then.

Might reconsider if the price was under 12K and the weight was under 1800. But you know it won't be close to either of those.

I'm sure you and at least one other member would be interested in that concept!lol

 

[theenico]

You said "member"

 

[rdss]

Indeed!lol

The 140 is so much better looks more sport car exotic

 

[firstorbit84]

I think we all agree the 140s looks better, but the 130r is a better platform

 

[sx sonic]

I remember reading about the code130 awhile back and thinking how awesome the idea was and how cool it looked.

Then I re researched it and somehow missed how ugly it is. I mean it almost looks cool but to many dimensions are off. Why not make the 130 look like the 140s?? Way more fitting for a rear drive

And then all the talk about it was RWD (awesome) and how sporty it looks (it doesn't look it) and how much connectivity and convience crap it has (the 1 thing I give 0 sh!ts about)

If they put as much thought into keeping it cheap and sporty handling as they did makeing it "a docking platform for my generations obseessions with cell phones" I would buy it an a hearbeat.

Its almost a dream reality car (how's that for oxymoron lol). I'm gonna wait and see what its like if it hits production. If I'm not disapointed i'd buy it.

 

[Sonny@bnr]

Apparently what I read straight from gm was they took surveys for both cars and the youth didn't like either one so Chevy decided not to build them. Ok we'll I dunno who the hell Chevy talked to but have they seen the good results of the brz and frs lately

 

[rdss]

They almost look good though.
