"Two powerful petrol engine: the 260 bhp 6-cylinder 3.2 JTS and the 185 bhp 4-cylinder 2.2 JTS; and now the new turbodiesel engine: 200 bhp 2.4 JTDM..."
okay I know the 3.2L is GM's HF engine. Are the 2.2L and 2.4L Ecotecs?
If so, 185hp form 2.2L is pretty good! And check out the 200hp TDI 2.4L! I would like that in my car.
wait...the 2.4L is a 5cly...

ah I see the 2.2L is not an ecot. Guess they just borrow GMs 3.2L

I thought it was a "go" as well. First GM was supposed to be heavily involved then I heard they would be distributed through Ferrari dealerships?

If you're talking about the 2.4L turbodiesel, it's not an Ecotec... Ecotec is powered by gasoline, not diesel.

yeah I got that. It'sa 5cly. Initally I knew that Alfa used GM's 3.2L HF (Alfa does their own heads/intake).
When I saw 2.2-2.4L I thought maybe they were GM's as well. Then I noticed the 2.4L was a 5cly after.
