That's what I hear. The engine will be called an Ecotec now. I wonder if it is an entirely new engine or just changed to the variable valve timing (VVT) as they report. The Ecotecs have a great reputation and I would hate for that to change with this engine so it better meet that expectation. Supposedly it will get 8% better mpg.

GMDAT already tweaked the engine for 2006 Aveo and promised a slight increase in HP and fuel economy. As far as I know the ecotec that will be in the 2009 Aveo will be the same engine with even more tweaks. An all new Aveo should appear around 2011 or 2012 model year with a new platform by GMDAT which will also be used for the 2011 Opel Corsa.

If its the same engine as current with just a few minor changes, it shouldn't be called an Ecotec. It's current and previous name is E-Tec which is not an Ecotec. GM used to have Tech 4, Quad 4, and many other names of small engines. Ecotecs are new engines produced in the last decade. If I am not mistaken the Aveo engine has roots back to the 1980's.

Somewhere I think I remember reading that the Ecotec was an aluminum block engine. As far as I know, the Aveo uses an iron block engine...but, I could be mistaken...

Hey everyone,
Just wanted to let you know that Chevy has a promotion going on known as the Chevy Aveo5 College Cab (www.aveolivinlarge.com) where they are giving college students free rides in an Aveo5 and filming the experience (a la Cash Cab). It's a competition, but also a great chance to see the inside of the Aveo5!
