Yeah, but the ice 6 vs. ice 4 issue has been bled to death. I'm pretty sure the '05 didn't have mandatory leather.

I would buy an Accord if it came with a 6sp MT in a Coupe, even though I'd prefer it with a ice 4. But I wouldn't buy it with leather.

I went through the same thing with Ford's marketing people when they announced the "specially wrapped leather steering wheel" in the Escape hybrid. It's an incredibly ill-conceived idea when there's a statistically significant correlation between being an environmentalist, and being vegetarian, and thus being someone who would buy a hybrid.
