huh? i don't get it. I know that in the US, the EX was a VTEC (although
often not labelled as so, it had the D16Y8 motor, vs the D16Y7 in the non
vtec) so there may be some truth to what you say. However, the difference
between my canadian LX and all the other sedan models is just in electronics.

But the suspension and steering parts are identical between all models, so
how does the EX and HX handle better?
