The salesperson is correct, the coupe has always had a more nicely buttoned-down suspension. The difference between the coupe and sedan is quite noticeable in this respect. I haven't driven the new Accord, but I would expect the same to still hold true.

Please do post your thoughts here after the test drive.
V6 6MT models are apparently in short supply. Not sure why, but this is the only model without VCM (Variable Cylinder Management). This system converts the V6 into a I3 or a V4 or a V6 depending on the load. It is nice for the 60 mile commuter looking for an extra 5 MPG, but for me, it just adds another layer after the DBW between myself and the road. I'm stoked to drive it to say the least.
