Get one with a 6 speed! According to the spec sheet, VCM is only
available in the automatics.

I have it in my Odyssey. It is completely transparent. I believe my wife's
Accord hybrid has it too. Once again you would have no idea it is there.
Note that only some of the Odyssey's have the feature. Mine is a 2006
touring model.

This is absolutely true; the real question regarding reliability lies after
100,000 miles...

Better drive it first my friend and dont do the normal around the block of the dealer.. take the new 08 V6 on a MINIMUM 30 min drive on an interstate. Cruise at diff speeds . I feel the VCM going in and out mostly ar 65-70MPH.. constant surging of the engine and or transmission,,, its like the car doesnt know what it wants to do.. it is SOO annoying. Also the car at the higher speeds has alot of road noise and vibration..its dissapointing

check out the Honda Forums on Edmunds. I found alot of info there about it.. seems several people already are talking about the VCM/Vibration issues with the new 08 sedan V6 model. Also some posts on Temple of Vtech and Accord driver..
