22500 must not be for the V6....those retail for 24-25000. And they do make a manual V6, its a 6 speed manual. I paid 23360 for mine and that was the dealers invoice price, so unless they are planning on losing some money on the car, you were misquoted. BTW...the 7th gen Accord V6 is better(and faster) than the RSX-S for around the same price :fawk:
