Yep, 2009 brings good things to GM 4-cylinders. 2010 and beyond are looking even better with the 1.4L turbo.

These aren't the days of relatively tech-lagging 2.2L Ecotecs anymore, or the GM OHV fat fours before them.

Finally GM is treating 4-cylinders like engines to invest in, not throwaway engines for unprofitable Cavaliers.
