Isn't the ecoboost about being able to 'deliver the power of a V6, with the fuel economy of an I4' (or V8 power, V6 economy as the case may be) through the use of turbo charging, VVT, and direct injection? If so, the 2.0L Turbo from the Cobalt SS (and others) certainly fits the bill. It's output was the comparable to most V6's, delivered 22/30 mpg which is comparable to a lot I4's out there (and significantly better than most V6's and T4's). And, it only needed regular unleaded gas to do all this. You can argue about the 1's and 0's in the computer, but compare the tech and compare the results and they're nearly the same thing.
