Wow, so many incorrect statements on the Eco. I'm no GM fan by far, but you can't argue with the L series V8's OR the Ecotec. The Ecotec is actually a very good engine when boosted. In fact I'd put it up against any other 4-banger out there. Maybe that's why no one can keep up with the Ecotec powered cavaliers in the Sport Compact class (talking 6 second cars, not 16 second cars). Anyways, everyone knows that GM did a good job on the L-series engines, no question.
