VVTi is Toyota's answer for Honda's V T E C. Im not too familiar with VVTi, but Honda's i V T E C not only increases lift, but changes the phasing of the opening/closing of the intake valves. But holy shit does it suck gas down when mine kicks in.....

Saab Variable Compression (SVC)>honda and its silly V tec
Variable compression:
When you need more power, the supercharger clutch engages, the monohead hinges upwards, the compression ratio reduces and the SVC engine can cope with huge boost pressures. The compression ratio runs at whatever gives the best efficiency for the moment, across a range from 8:1 through to 14:1

why wouldnt they just build the motor to handle the supercharged at 14 psi. Variable compression only means one thing; the motors are too weak to hold boost...why does that mean they are too weak to hold boost? there is a reason fi cars dont run 9:1 and 10:1 compression. You raise compression, get better mpg... lower compression as throttle raises and make horsepower? sounds kinda like vcrap, except good?
Someone tell the current management at GM about this shelved SAAB technology, which offers better performance and better fuel economy than their proposed hybrid!
