Is this a GM engine?? The dealer told me the non SC engine was made by Honda.. :confused: Also, anyone know the other major differences (other than motor) between SS and regular Cobalts?? Thanks.

Search.

I was nearly beheaded for posting this question and then trying to defend Honda.

The defending Honda part was my downfall.

No, I m sure the salesmen told me the engine was made by Honda and not just making a comparison. someone will have to look into this a little further. :confused:

That salesman is stupid, the SC engine is based off the turbo Saab engine, which is also GM.

All three engines ( 2.2L,2.0L,and the 2.4L) are GM engines! Your salesman is stupid or dumb.

The engine is definitely a GM product however the Ecotec heads were designed by Lotus.

Opel is GM owned too. Or you just saying that Opel was the first car to have the engine? At any rate it's a gm engine whether it was design by a GM employee in Germany or American or Australia, ect.

ECO made in New York, GM product. The saleman recanted his story after doing some research.So many companies share and make parts for other companies that it s hard to keep track.
