well, vtec doesnt suck, but you gotta realize its not exactly unique. toyota has vvti, nissan has cvtcs, etc. As hondaman said, most cars these days have some type of vvt, so calling it vtec is corporate name association: kinda like calling it a band-aid when in fact its an adhesive strip, or in the south calling any carbonated beverage a coke. its just that type of thing. vtec is nothing special, it was just the first system of its kind so it got the name recognition...

but you gotta admit vtec sounds cooler than vvti or cvtcs or vanos or whatever :o
