you just described ivtec. If the timing of the camshaft is continusously adjusted, it has to always be engaged to do so.
 
With b series vtec it doesn't do that until you are revving the engine up until its peak powerband.
 
i vtec may have stages, but its still working in low rpms. With older vtec is limited to the right side of your tach.

seels on namplate alone huh? Sorry, although the world is composed of various idiots, many of them DONT drive civics.
 
If the civic is so horrible, why is the Tc a hack job? Hmm...someone has no idea what they are talking about.
 
The aerostar comparsion was cute, but totally inaccurate.
 
The dash in the xb being way better? For someone who dislikes polarizing dash designs, i'm suprised a guage mounted TOTALLY out of your natural line of sight was appealing at all.

Ok... I think I'm finally on the same page as you. Sometimes differing views on how to use a word makes comprehension difficult.

no haggle pricing doesn't mean there aren't discounts applied. It just means that the discounts are clearly marked and anyone can get them. Without haggling.
 
It's called a SALE.....geesh

I've never understood people down-shifting to pass with an Si. I guess I'm always in the upper band, predetermining passing (i.e., being a perceptive driver).
 
All I do is step on the gas and pass. Everyone.
 
Sigh.

Generally, I'm not a fan of cruising along crowded surface streets and highways with my engine spinning at 5k waiting for a golden opportunity to pass. Sometimes it's just more suitable to cruise in at a lower rpm and then shift and punch it when you have your moment.

according to data on their respective sites:
 
Apr 07 Civic sales (North America): 29,155 units
Feb 07 (latest month available, assumed to be NA units) Scion Tc Sales: 4,399 units
 
that's a difference of 567%....and the Civic is priced considerably higher.
