Good read. But isn't true that the ecotec family of engines were originally designed by opel in germany. I dont have an SS. I have just an LS with a 2.2L ecotec. This engine produces about 149hp and gets 32-35mpgs. Thats impressive when you compare it to the 1.6L e-tec engine made by daewoo in my fiance's chevy aveo...which still only gets 34mpgs with only 104 hp. The germans know how to design engines.

What is even more amazing is seeing the GM Ecotec tour, with 1400HP 4 cylinders, using the same block as in your HHR.
