don't forget there are currently four different types of "i-VTEC" for Honda cars...one for the SOHC 4-cyl (like the R18), one for DOHC 4-cyls (like the K20 or even the K23 Turbo), one for the SOHC 4-cyl and 6-cyl engines with IMA, and one for SOHC 6-cyls like on the Odyssey (which is really only VC). I'm sure we'll see another version once we get to the DOHC V6s...

Also, its anyone's guess what the name the next gen of VTEC engines will have (featuring Advanced VTEC) that will debut in the next 3 years. As for bikes, they already have Hyper VTEC and will get VCM.
