Bad wording or research? AVCS has been on the EJ series for a while now. This is similar to Toyota's VVT-i. Subaru has also used AVLS on EJ motors for a few years now. This is more like Honda's VTEC. The combination of the two is akin to Toyota's VVTL-i or Honda's iVTEC.

The FB20 and FB25 have been confirmed as having AVCS on intake and exhaust cams. (Like Toyota's dual VVT-i)
