That's a surprise. Very nice.

Sounds like they are... that's the ~20% reduction from the DX 2100 rpm @ 55mph I expected. Would you get the part numbers off them for me, especially the 6th gen CX? I have been shopping for a VX transmission without luck for a couple months. I have a final drive from one, and I want to pull my DX trans and play around with swapping the final drive, but I would like not to lose my daily driver and so I need a second transmission. Part numbers would be way cool.

Very interesting. This suggests Honda broke up the 5th gen VX exactly the way you suggested earlier. I get it now. The CX became a cheaper higher FE car at the cost of "performance" while the HX with VTEC-e and shorter gearing (though still kinda tall) was the costlier way to FE with somewhat better power.
