what vehicles will the Solstice share it's engine with?
The Solstice is getting the Ecotec engine, right? I know the Cobalt and Pontiac's small car are getting the same engine, right? Will any other GM vehicles use this engine?
And does anybody have any idea how much just the engine costs from a dealership?

Since no other vehicles use these engines yet, then where else but a dealership could I buy a brand new engine?

the 2.4 VVT Ecotec will be used in the G6 sedan, HHR, and Cobalt along with the Pontiac model in Canada. This will probably be found int he Malibu too. The G6 coupe and vert will only come with the 3.5 and 3.9.
You could probably buy one from a GMPP dealer as a crate motor soon.
There are several ecotecs, the 2.0, 2.2, and the new 2.4. The 2.0 usualy comes in boosted form, and the Solstice will be getting a 205hp supercharged 2.0 from the Ion and Cobalt. This comes from Lutz's lips in a recent interview done by Car and Driver.

Saab is using 2.0 L turbo Ecotec, right? What about FI 2.4?

The 2.0 is the "Euro" Ecotec. It's a much heavier duty piece than the 2.2 or 2.4. It has sodium filled valves, stronger bottom end and oil cooled pistons. The 2.0 was designed to handle the added pressure of a turbo or supercharger.

There is no FI 2.4's outside of the Kappa concepts.

yeah, the 2.0 is a forged unit. You can run a LOT of boost on that 2.0! I wish they used the turbo 2.0 from the 9-3, it would catch on with a lot more import minded kids who live for turbos.

The Solstice will be getting a boosted uplevel engine. However, do not assume that it will be the same as the Ion RL/Cobalt SS. That goes for both displacement and TYPE of boost. Keep and open mind.
