The VX is the lean burn Civic hatch. It's the only one ever sold in Canada (HX was the coupe also sold in the U.S.)

Lean burn works amazingly at light/moderate loads. EG. highway cruising. Lean burn, good aerodynamics, tall gearing, and low rolling resistance are why the 1st gen Insight can get 75-100 mpg US on the highway.
