dual vvti is just toyotas fancy wording for valve timing for both the intake and exhaust valves. as was stated earlier, even if the aurion is rated at 200kw, it still feels more sluggish than a honda engine rated at the same power. for some reason toyotas feel underpowered for me.. its just like how my 1.6L vtec sohc daily driving civic feels more lively compared to my gfs 1.8l 2007 vvti dohc corolla. compared them both on hills, freeway etc.. maybe for other drivers its fine, but thats just my opinion.

and i think hondas marketing the accord more towards competing with the aurion and the larger cars, in comparisson to the camry. here toyotas got the camry to compete with the mazda 6 and that, where honda has the euro for that category.
