Summary
How good are the Sonoma and S-Series? Real good. GM has created a state-of-the-art compact pickup, attractively styled and attractively priced.But don’t just take our word for it. In a recent interview, Chrysler Vice President of Vehicle Engineering Francois Castaing said that he had driven a Chevy S-Series and thought it was a terrific little truck. Now that’s a pretty compelling compliment.
