You can have it with a V6 now if all you care about is straight line speed, but the 4 cyl is way more balanced
Obviously it's a matter of preference. For me the Honda shifter feels like a toy, it's just too light. For your average joe that may be a great thing because it's effortless, you can shift with your pinky if you want. I like to be able to feel the shifter engage the next gear. The BMW shifters are a nice balance, they're light but it does take at least some effort to shift and you can feel it engage. My STi with a aftermarket short shifter is rather extreme, it takes a lot of effort to shift and is very notchy.

Again, speed is a relative term. I have a 380whp STi, when I drove my sisters TSX it felt miserably slow to me.
