It now looks like the Coupe was always considered a compact car. The Cargo volume is 11.9 cu. ft which compares to last years 12.8

I'm 60 and will be buying an 09 accord when my current lease is up. I started buying/leasing accords in 1981 so we've grown up with them. Therefore some of the buyers will be people who have stuck with them. Some of the younger people have bought/leased Civics as they are now the size, or even bigger, than the older accords.

Is the moonroof a requirement or can it be deleted?
 
The moonroof has been standard on EX models for years. If you don't want a moonroof, you have to go to a lower trimline. This is nothing new for Honda.
 
I agree with you about the lack of a manual in the V6 though.... that's a first for Honda.

The current model did not get a manual for the v6 until MY 2006.
 
My guess (completely uneducated) is that Honda will follow the same pattern and introduce a v6 manual in a couple of years.

PERFORMANCE (C/D EST):
Zero to 60 mph: 5.8–7.4 sec
Zero to 100 mph: 14.9–23.1 sec
Standing ¼-mile: 14.4–16.0 sec
 
Wow! The V6 Coupe comes in at 5.8secs? Nice!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Even the lesser powered 4 banger is no slouch!!
 
It sort of makes me mad though that like the last gen accord, Homelink is only available on the top of the line EX-L V6. I guess people with 4 bangers must live in apt buildings with no garages!!

I guess I never paid that much attention. I've always been an I4 manual guy so the point is moot for me anyway.

V6 w/manual is available but Coupe only (like it was when MY2003 arrived). With virtually all sales going for automatic transmission, there isn't a whole lot of incentive to offer 6MT in sedans, especially to begin with.

Well, the current one clocked in at 5.9 secs by some tests, so not much of an improvement. I would have expected more, but since the car grew ....

The current model in some tests get mid 6's in the 0-60 as well.
 
C&D always estimates 0-60 and 1/4 mile times untill they do a comparo. I don't think the Accord will break 6 seconds.
