I forum member, 2001LC, advised me to check if the intake of my 2006 LC (VIN: JTEHT05J902092706) was a black plastic one. I took the engine cover off and discovered the intake was aluminum, which I was told was a sign of a non-VVTi engine. To my knowledge all 2006-2007-year models came with a VVTi but, apparently, mine isn't. Anyone else with a non-VVTi 2006?
