According to GM it isn't. This is a new third generation Ecotec, just released and only available in the ATS and Chevy Malibu so far. We'll see if it is any different.

From the turbo cars I've driven the mileage sucks if you use the boost. Turbo cars are great for the way the EPA tests though, easy driving not using much boost, so expect to see more of them as CAFE MPG requirements for fleets increase.

Nice. Looks like they lifted many design cues from the Bimmers.
