2007 Chevy Cobalt

Nearly invisible under an array of plastic covers, this Cobalt's 2.4L LE5 features variable valve timing and is the largest-displacement Ecotec currently offered in any GM. It's also the same mill used in the non-turbo Sky and Solstice roadsters, though of course mounted sideways here. This was the first Ecotec to use a stronger Gen II block, and features high-strength items like forged connecting rods, oil-jet piston cooling, and chain-driven (not belt-driven) camshafts. This little sucker is tough!
