I've been seeing them on the road all over the place, I'd assume they were being produced in the tens of thousands

From what I understand, only about 5% of the accords are going to be in that configuration, 6speed manual coupe.

There is actually a premium of a few thousand bucks on these...

Wow. Thats not as low as 500, but still very low for a car like the accord. Crazy

I was looking at the local dealership here in Newfoundland the other day - they only had three coupes total and one was a six-speed. They're going to be as rare as hen's teeth. I'd love to grab one, though - decent styling, nice interior, and great motor and shifter (so I've heard).

Finally saw a TSX in person yesterday - looked sharp.

I'm curious - why buy an Acura TSX over an Accord V6 Sedan Auto? The Accord is more powerful, has more interior room, and is less expensive!

IMHO while I dont think the TSX is anything great, i do think it looks a bit better then the accord
