The last L850 EcoTec built at GM PowerTrain Tonawanda was loaded on to the assembly line today. It has been a great ride. I have owned 5 vehicles with some version of the L850 in them. I am going to miss it, but I am looking forward to the new lines here at Tonawanda.

 

Sad to hear this...This plant is about 12 minutes from my house.

 

I am beyond behind here i can see, what are they replacing it with?

 

It looks like it's the new 2.5L engine in the Malibu and the 2.0L turbo in the Cadillac ATS that is ramping up at Tonawanda. Later on, the Gen V V8 is going to replace the old inline 4 and 5 that were going into the Colorado/Canyon.

 

thanks.. i didnt realize there was a new 2.5L in the malibu, i thought it was still the plain old 2.4L eco.
