So...I was watching TV a minute ago...and it was a saturn aura commercial.


The guy says "With a Powerful (Echo Tech) motor".

Now..ive always called it an E-co tech...kinda like...ecological...or some ****.

There was a very long thread about this already, might have even been a poll

 

whatttttt, you kinda lost me there

 

i say ee-co-tek

 

It looks like it would be pronounced E-CO TEC but it's really pronounced ECHO TEC

 

...Atleast its not "Vtec"

 

Indeed

 

same thing as there are 2 differen't pronounciations of aveo and equinox. just depends on who you are.

 

^^also depends where you are. want a coke? sure i'll take a dr. pepper. want a pie? yeah get cheese and pepperoni.

 

uh-vay-o and e-kwuh-nox

 

I think the name came from "emissions control optimization technology", and emissions has the long EE sound so I've always said it that way but who really cares. We could always just say L61/LE5/LSJ.

 

i was JUST thinking this yesterday.... E-co!!! and it's SODA!!!!!

 

were you watching overhauling aswell??? i saw that, they were talking about a saturn aura iirc.

 

It's EEEECO /end thread lol

 

echo-tec....atleast thats what Lutz and the other GM execs. call it...but i dont really think ether way is wrong.

 

Eco-tec, and POP (not "soda", sounds a lil )

 

Dude its pronounced " EE kO TAK"

 

The proper pronunciation is ECHO tec. It's a European motor and the Europeans with their crazy pronunciation named it. But I do it wrong and say EEEco tec.

 

That commercial annoys the hell out of me when he says that!!

I'm not pronouncing the word like it has an invisble 'H'

 

X2....

 

I have always pronounced it EE-CO-TEK

Thats what it looks like to me.
Echo Tec is just unpleasent to say.
Ecotec rolls nicely off the tounge.

Oh, and Soda FTW.
Pop is someones father, Or something that starts with loli, or something you do to your hood, not something you drink.

 

dude. the gm engineer at cbus called it echo tec. wtf, were you sleeping??? lulz

 

Like al-oo-min-ee-um...
(aluminum)

 

E-co-tek

So is it Chevro-let, or Chevrol-ley?

I say both, just depends on what model i'm folliwing it with.
Chevrolet Corvette
Chevroley Impala

 

I pronounce it eek-oh-tek, but I've always been unsure as to how it's pronounced, so I've never brought it up in a conversation.
