Grueling Road Stress Fuels Chevy Sonic Success
“Seth miles” are named for Chevrolet Sonic Quality Manager Seth Valentine. Each mile Valentine puts on a test vehicle is called a “Seth mile” by Sonic engineers because of his reputation for extreme testing on long road trips. Valentine’s duty: Make the Sonic the most reliable and durable small car in North America
The efforts are paying off as Sonic more than doubled the sales of its predecessor, the Aveo, in January. Sonic is the only subcompact built in the United States.
Over one six-week period, Valentine drove more than 14,000 miles in the first Sonic to leave the General Motors Orion (Mich.) Assembly Plant. Valentine drove Sonic Vehicle Identification No. 1 from north to south and east to west, across subtropical Florida, the arid deserts of Arizona, the mountains of Colorado, and the South Carolina low country.
In addition to amassing miles with other Sonic team members, Valentine would play typical consumer and pack the Sonic to the hilt for a family vacation.
During work trips, Valentine and his colleagues identified quality issues that needed fixed before Sonics were shipped to Chevrolet dealers. One lengthy journey from the assembly plant outside Detroit to Phoenix revealed an intense wind noise while traveling through a 40 mph crosswind in Texas. The wind noise was not a factor during testing at the GM Proving Ground in Milford, Mich. Valentine called the assembly plant from the road and had the problem fixed before VIN No. 2 left the factory. He took the same approach with other issues found on the road.
“I do test drives because I want to experience everything a customer could: low altitude, high altitude, high temperatures and low temperatures,” said Valentine. “In the course of one week I can go from below sea level at 120 degrees F to below freezing temperatures at 12,000 feet above sea level. We can experience everything the customer might experience.”
The Sonic comes with a 100,000-mile powertrain warranty, 40,000 miles more than most competing small car powertrain warranties. It is the only small car manufactured in the United States.

Chevrolet and Partners Push High School Class Attendance
Through April 27, more than 10,000 students attending United Way’s 17 “Networks of Excellence” schools in Metro Detroit will compete for a chance to host a Get Schooled event featuring a celebrity guest who will serve as “Principal for a Day.” Chevrolet and Viacom are sponsoring the competition.
"We need to help students succeed. As I have said before, it’s about doing the right thing by giving kids a great education. Absenteeism is a threat to that education.” said General Motors North America President Mark Reuss, who is also a GM Foundation board member. “Get Schooled builds excitement by encouraging attendance and is a great example of community partnership."
In 2010, the General Motors Foundation donated $27.1 million to the United Way for Southeastern Michigan to create a “Network of Excellence” of seven existing area high schools with the goals of dramatically increasing graduation rates and ultimately rebuilding the area’s skilled workforce. The money, which is the largest donation in the 34-year history of the GM Foundation, is aimed at reducing the nearly 50 percent dropout rate in parts of Metro Detroit where the most manufacturing jobs have been lost in recent years.
The breakdown of the donation includes $5 million a year for the next five years plus $425,000 a year for five Early Childhood Learning Communities.
