I think they also make a 2.0L non turbo version. but not available in the USA.
They do. There is also a long line of other ECOTEC engines that GM produces that aren't sold statside. If I'm not mistaken there is also a 1.8L ECOTEC that is sold in the Opel Astra and others... (oh which is stateside now as a Saturn) .... Nevermind...

Also there will be a 1.4L Turbo ECOTEC that will be offered as a base engine for the Chevrolet Cruze when it comes to the U.S market in 2010, and if I'm not mistaken in other markets where the Cruze is currently being sold, such as in Korea, Russia, and other markets where it's known as the Lacetti it'll be offered in a 1.6L normally aspirated variant....

The ECOTEC is a solid engine, and I've owned a couple now in my life where I can confidently say that.... Now for the rest of the car's other components I can't say the same sometimes...
