I have never heard the IIvx classified as a Centris but then again it makes more sense for it to be lumped in with the Centris machines than the older Mac IIs since the architecture is different. The IIvx is basically an 030-powered Centris machine if you look at how the machine is built. It's got more in common with the low-end 040s than the IIci and others that it was competing against.
The IIvx/IIvi/Performa 600 share the case design of the Centris/Quadra full size desktop, but otherwise have little in common. The IIvx family have a 68030 processor, a IIci PDS slot and use 30 pin SIMMs -- classic 68030 NuBus architecture. The only thing that might put it in the Centris family is the shared case and internal CD-ROM drive capacity -- note the emphasis on multimedia content in the advert in the top post.
