Since it looks like Honda won't see the wisdom of building this combination, the thought of doing it myself occurred to me. The V6 sedans seem to be deeply discounted, unlike the 6-speed coupes an the 6-speed TSX. So my idea is to buy an '04 V6 sedan, wait until the warranty expires (about 18 months with my driving) and then swap in the pedal cluster-clutch-6-speed from a coupe. Surely, someone should wreck a donor 6-speed coupe between now and 2005. Any reason this wouldn't be a simple bolt-in?

Thanks for your thoughts!
