To me it looks like they squeezed the car from both ends and it poped out on top .
they must not be very proud of it by the size of the bow tie on the grille

 

Well I liked the look of the car until they came out with the intierior shots. If they would put the 2.0 in the sonic then that would be the only way I would get one now. I was thinking about getting one but now Im not. Its still a cool car but only from the outside.
