Default Accord V6 Coupe 6-speed manual

I just noticed that carsdirect-dot-com had dropped the target price from sticker to about $1500 under sticker, or $1000 over invoice. This is about the same as the target price given on edmunds-dot-com.

I thought that the 6-speed was only going to available in limited quantities for the first year. (I had originally planned to wait for the '04s.) So I was wondering if the "limited supply" is because of the limits on the numbers of 6-speeds that can be produced, or is it because most V6 Accord buyers can't or don't want to shift a manual transmission?

Isn't this the same 6-speed manual transmission as on the CL Type S? How are they selling?

BTW, I've been driving a somewhat pricier Eurocar with a manual transmission for the last 5 years. I've accumulated pages and pages and more pages of repair invoices on the car. Meanwhile, my wife bought a Honda and the total repairs have been brake pads and 2 brake lightbulbs! Never again.
