ok.. some discrepenies here..
DX, bare bones base model (all generations)
CX, Hatch back, 5th gen, 1.5L nonvtec
HX, 6th and 7thgen, vtec, watered down, intermediate to LX and EX, alloys
GX, Natural Gas, 7thgen
VP. value package, 6thgen dx with power locks and windows, cd player
LX, 5thgen til present, middle models, pretty much dx with a tach and power locks and windows
EX, 4thgen til present, the high end civic... if there is such a thing
Si, 4th gen and up, nice, only the 6thgen was a coupe.. all others they were hatches usually had more power than the EX

Yes the HX has the CVT tranny and Vtec. VP is the value package, but I am not sure what is included in that.

Rep Power: 314 Add a few things:
DX- No sway bar, vtec or ABS, 14" wheels with caps.
LX - No ABS or vtec, 14" wheels with caps. Doorhandles, rear license trim and mirrors are painted.
EX - ABS, tweeters in sail panels, 15" alloy wheels
HX - e-vtec (economy vtec) 117hp. 14" Alloys. Cruise. Can get 5speed or auto CVT transmission. Not sure about power windows/locks. edmunds says the '03s have them. The '01s had locks but not p.windows I believe.

Rep Power: 0 The HX ( 5 speed manual) has the tallest gearing out of all of them, followed by the DX and LX (have the same tranny, 5 speed manual) and last is the EX (5 speed manual)
Not sure about the autos
On another side note, the HX's 4th gear is Identacle to the EX's 5th gear. I've never raced another civic with the HX, but after 70 (redline 2nd gear btw) nothing much is going to happen.
