VVTL-i, not VVT-i. I'm not surprised that Pontiac used Toyota's power, after all, they used the rest of the chassis as well. Plus, Pontiac doesn't make a drivetrain capable of emulating the high spirited enthusiasm of the 6-speed 2ZZ-GE.
Everyone remember the Mitsubishi Eclipse (GS-T/GSX) & Eagle Talon (TSi/AWD) sister cars? Both powered by the same older Mitsu Lancer motor. Funny, the equally capable Talon was shitcanned after poor sales, while the Eclipse became a hot item that went on to earn Mitsubishi's title of "the fastest growing Japanese car company".
