Chevrolet Sonic production resumes today after two day hiatus
Production on the 2012 Chevrolet Sonic is scheduled to resume today after a two day halt due to a missing part.
The Lake Orion, Michigan plant experienced the shortage on a part possibly brought in from Thailand, which recently experienced some massive flooding.
Edmunds.com data reflects that since production began on August 1, the Sonic has been the only subcompact produced in the U.S., and is GM’s fastest-selling model, getting from dealership to an owner’s home in just 11 days.
