I think we should say it E.C.O.tec and say each letter. jk.

But I say it both ways, ekotec when Im casual about it, but echotec when I really think about what Im saying.

I don't give a **** how others say it. I say E- Co- Tec(#1 choice) and don't get pissed at others. As far as how Bob Lutz and other GM guys say it what does that matter. If I see bob with a mouth full of dicks I for one won't go jumping on the band wagon because I think he is cool!

btw, GM racing pronounces it Echo-tec so I have a feeling they might be saying it right. Just a hunch though.

hahaha I agree w/ that, +1! Its ECHO-tec sheesh. When i think of eek-o-tec I think of those neo-eco-crazy's that populate the sierra club and hug trees for a living. It also makes me think of that killer whale movie that disney made like 10 years ago and I feel like an idiot for forgetting its name, but you know what i'm talking about.

im pretty sure its echo-tec, as thats how almost all the employees of GM that mention it (on commercials, tv shows, advertisements, n whatnot) say it...but it looks like more everyday people prefer eek-o-tec

I say it ECHO tek. But I understand ee-ko from those northern people. I like proper speaking people instead of these people who use slang terms.

i failed? now all of a sudden the dealer's word is gold? give me a break. and for someone that's so sure of themself, you're completely wrong.

listen to the people who engineered, designed, built, etc. this engine and see what they call it. the dealer will tell you that a 2005 cobalt comes stock with a turbo. does that mean it does?
