I was told by Luxus dealershi service person that my 2003 GX470's engine
is VVT-i but specification does not say that while 2005/2006 models are
equipped with VVT-i according to the manufacturer's website. Is it true that
2003 is VVT-i engine??? I asked him twice but he keeps telling me so.
Full Version: Vvt-i Engine
No. only the 05s and newer have the VVT-i engine. As long as it's only a 235hp, it's not VVT-i. 
Thank you denslexusgx470 for your advice. I wonder why the dealer's
service consultant does not know about a car he treats... Anyway,
I am happy with my 2003 which 235hp engine gives enough power.
I used to drive Escalade ESV(345hp) but I do not feel any weakness
of power in my GX470. GX470 is really a nice vehicle even though
it is 2003 model.

no problem TM8000. 
No matter what the age of the vehicle is, as long as it doesn't have the clunk or vibration, it should be a great vehicle that will never compare to your previous Escalade.
