Ok i have been having my 03 cav since 04 and i never really wondered what ecotec means, is it similair to the Honda's v-tec.
Stupid question probably but no one i know has a clue.

Wikipedia definition

Just a name. I always figured the original idea was to emphasize improved economy in the marketing, but it really doesn't have to mean anything.
