I haven't heard anything about the Sonic yet. Seems like one of those egg-shaped rollover prone cars. I know there was a rollover incident with a Focus hatch a few years ago.
Most of the borderline vehicles should be eligible with suspension work (Very few exceptions like Scion xB). Width vs Height is just the formula at it's simplest form. If a car is close to the width vs height issue, they'll look at other stuff. I believe they also take government rollover ratings into consideration for borderline vehicles. For example, the Fiat 500 is ineligible for stock, but the 500 Abarth is allowed to run stock. Modifications that stock classes allow for (r-comps) can make a vehicle more rollover prone.
I'd just hate for someone to show up with an ineligible stock vehicle and be turned away and turned off to the sport.
