I here some call the engine " Echo " tec and others " Eeeco " tec.

Which is it, I myself call it " Eeeco " tec.

Well according to GM, the official pronounciation of the Ecotec engine is "Echo-Tech"

The first part being "Echo" as in Toyota Echo

Personally, I just say eeeco-tec, its just easier to say and sounds better

The German "Getrag" transmission that GM uses faces the same dilemma, apparently its pronounced "Get-Rag", whereas most people (including myself) pronounce it as "Gee-Trag"

I sat eeeeco tec myself ever since I had my ECOtec Sunfire...But the correct way to pronounce it is Echo-tech as GM calls the ECOtec engines.....

i did a pronouciation poll on the JBO and the prefered pronounciation was
ee-ko tek


but as stated the official is "echo"

I prefer "echo".

zinner

I say echo - tec.

stlurbanpunk

long e, "eeecotech" sounds fancier.

Vendian

I say eeeecho tech too. I think like the other guys said, you just think eco is that cause of economy. O well.

Eeeko tech sounds better than Echo Tech IMO. Mainly because I think the name Echo for a car doesn't get much gayer than that. Well except maybe for Festiva, or Corrola

Never and I mean not once until this thread have I ever heard anyone call it an ECHO TEC always thought it was EEEEECO TE C

if they wanted "echo" they would have written "echo" but they wrote "eco" to i am calling e-ko, not my fualt they have screwed up marketing ppl that think they are smarting then they really are.

hokman

I say echotec. But it's really confusing for all the e words. Is it lancer iee-volution, or e-volution?

I think ecotec comes from ecology, meaning good for environment. Because that 3.2 ecotec isn't that economical.

osmose

Emission Control Optimization TECnology, is what it stands for (if i remember correctly)

eeeeecotec sounds retarded.

The long eeee sound reminds me of "eeeeek" or "geek".

Echo-tek is the correct way, and the better way of saying it.

It's better because it's the official pronunciation of it.

codyss

Is echo tec the correct way or the adopted version due to idiots at Car & Driver TV and GM's marketing department?

thehemi

Echotec sounds worse than Eeecotec. I will stick with my Eeeco.

ronus20

You stick with your eeeco, and have the GM guys laugh their asses off at you whenever you say that in front of them. They'll say something like..........NEWBIE! j/k

hokman

yea, the long eeee sounds gay.

Nocturn

As opposed to Echo? Yes my engine vibrates air molucules in a wave form that bounce off of solid objects and reverse directions....

Its ECO, not Echo.

Economy,Ecology, etc...suddently you can get the echo sound without the h?

codyss

Just today at my local GM dealership everyone that asked about my car said EEEcotec.

I feel like a ******* calling it echotec.
