Default Does the LX Civic 08 have VTEC?

I have been hearing from a few of my friends that base civics DX, LX do not have VTEC whereas only the SI models do. Is this true?

I see, but VTEC still kicks in at higher RPMs right? No matter LX or SI

Nope the si kicks in in higher rpms, but the dx lx and ex are reversed. It kicks in when your below 3000 rpms i beleive
