GM kicks of Chevrolet Sonic production at Orion plant
General Motors has been hard at work to make sure that their latest subcompact, the Chevrolet Sonic, enters the market strongly. Just recently, they announced that production for the South Korea-based compact has just begun at GM’s Orion Assembly Plant in Michigan.
“We started our regular production today — two-and-a-half hours ago,” said Ken Knight, GM’s executive director for global and North America Manufacturing Engineering. “Since my phone hasn’t rung off the hook, I think we are doing well.”

Prices for the 2012 Chevrolet Sonic begin at $14,495 for the sedan and $15,395 for the five-door hatchback when they launch later this fall.
