Hahahaha — sounds about right! I am curious about whether the Type S will end up offering a 6MT; I’d enjoy having AWD living in New England, but I think I’d be far less tempted if it only came with a DCT (though I understand why Acura would go that route). I’m sure it will be a fantastic car regardless, but in a way, a DCT-only Type S would make me retroactively even happier with a manual A-Spec. Win-win in that regard.

I've been driving an '04 RSX type S in New England for 18 years. I put snow tires on it, and that alone makes it perform better than cars with all season tires, which is most others on the road. I'd like AWD also, but I don't expect to see it. However, if there's no 6MT in the type S, then I don't think they can call it a sports compact or an Integra 😀. I would be shocked if it doesn't have that option.

I can't find a current gen 6 spd manual Accord for under 30k. Crazy market we our in where new cars seem reasonable.

It almost makes me want to find an auto body shop to remove rust and repaint my car. I could then spend a few hundred bucks and buy a new car radio from crutchfield, repair my torn seat cushion, and then be good as new. Probably a lot cheaper than buying a used car with same or worse performance. I wonder how much it would actually cost to repair?
