Folks, Shannon made a big announcement today. She has signed a multi-year sponsorship agreement with TrueCar.com. This is a fantastic opportunity for both Shannon and TrueCar. Shannon is the only female driver in the ladder system for IndyCar so they are both very well positioned for success! Cheers!!!

If you get a chance find Shannon's fan page on Facebook or @shannon_mac on Twitter and like her/follow her and do the same for TrueCar.com.

with that much compression 155hp is disappointing but fuel economy ratings are excellent.

[nitroxide17]

Ahem....maybe you should buy a coffee dear.

@thegreatga go back to the days of HOOKED ON PHONICS,

@thegreatga

Others are have less like the Toyota Corolla, Honda Civic, and Chevy Cruze, all with 138 hp. Hyundai Elantra 1.6 L I-4 has 148 hp. Only the Ford Focus has more hp at 160. Mazda3 has multiple engines, but 155 hp isn't quite get up and go, try the s line with a 2.5 L I-4 with 167 hp, but fuel economy will take a little hit. Base models have it at 148 hp, but fuel economy isn't like SKYACTIV. I'd take the SKYACTIV if I chose a Mazda3.
