V6 manual with VTech would be cool? Is it naturally aspirated? I would love something without a turbo, especially with old school VTech? What’s your thoughts on the new integra? I’m disappointed by it

Hold on, forget what I said about this car. My bad, was between things when I first looked and didn't look hard enough.

Since the six-speed manual transmission is sadly no longer offered, we'd select an Accord with the optional 10-speed automatic since the only other option is a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). That leaves us looking at the Sport model with the optional turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine.

Looks like you will have to do the same thing I did if want you this specific setup, find the year, color, options, miles, history, price. /shrug, that sucks they killed it.
But that would be a good car for your situation, the 10 speed auto is the option over the CVT which are having issues. Maybe check up on the history of the 10spd that is being offered, see if its reliable.
Edit: The older models had the optional, naturally aspirated V6 "Earth Dreams" iVtec. This is the 2013 model, same year as my Si.

What really makes the Accord feel light is the 278-hp, 3.5-liter V-6. Careful chassis tuning keeps the coupe on an even keel, but the powerful V-6 under the hood dominates the experience. Driven normally, excessive wheelspin and torque steer are kept in line. Revving the engine and dumping the clutch, however, will result in tire smoke and some steering-wheel tug. A hard launch will bring a 0-to-60 time of 5.6 seconds; a quarter-mile time of 14.0 seconds at 103 mph is possible. Forgoing the brutal launch, as we do with our 5-to-60-mph rolling start, adds only 0.4 second to the 60-mph sprint.

Manual fans will delight in the mechanical feel of the Accord’s shifter. Quick shifts and nicely placed pedals make the stick a purist’s delight. Buyers who prefer an automatic get a new six-speed and better fuel economy than the manual version (21/32 versus 18/28). We’d gladly live with the fuel-economy penalty to enjoy the involvement and precision of the manual transmission.
