While colloquially interchanged, there is a difference between a motor and an engine. In common usage, an engine burns or otherwise consumes fuel, and is differentiated from an electric motor that derives power without changing the composition of matter. A heat engine may also serve as a prime mover, a component that transforms the flow or changes in pressure of a fluid into mechanical energy An automobile powered by an internal combustion engine may make use of various motors and pumps, but ultimately all such devices derive their power from the engine. Another way of looking at it is that a motor receives power from an external source, and then converts it into mechanical energy, while an engine creates power from pressure (derived directly from the explosive force of combustion or other chemical reaction, or secondarily from the action of some such force on other substances such as air, water, or steam) Source: From wide wide web

Although of the same lineage of the Gen5 Lt1 base Vette, GM has yet to release the HP/TQ numbers for the light duty truck EcoTec3 motors. It's expected that they will be class leading.
Also, if I'm not mistaken, they'll all be Tonawanda built. Hopefully some of the engine parts might be CDN sourced.

I'm one of those MiniVan guys ready for a change, and I'm really smitten by the new 14 GMC Sierra SLT...
