They were the first to introduce it commercially in mass market so they have the advantage.

I've seen a video lately with a K20 smoking an EVO. Medyo controversial but I liked what I saw. Afterall, Honda still rules in F1. Not Toyota, Midland, or Aguri.
i-VTEC is the future? Then how do they explain the dismal gas mileage of 2.0 Accords and CR-Vs?

About the K20 vs. Evo, I suspect the Evo guy didn't properly launch the car. There's an ideal way to do that, which requires some getting used to. Your usual plug-and-play Hondas are very easy to get off the line.

Finally, Honda may have won the Hungarian GP, but 99% of it is simply out of luck. Schumacher, Alonso and Raikkonen had DNFs, otherwise one of them would easily taken victory over Button. If you may argue that Honda leads all the other Japanese makers in F1, that's because they simply have to pick up BAR left off when they were bought out. Honda only had to work with engines during their partnership; BAR took care of the chassis. And I believe Toyota have the better engine, more durable and faster top speed. It's just that they can't come up with a chassis that's good enough to win races yet.
