When you're in 6th gear and cruising above 70MPH, the RPM needle is at the same spot the MPH needle is at. (Or very close)
70MPH - 135 degrees (Obtuse) - 3000 RPM (Give or take 100 RPM)
80MPH - 115 degrees - 3500 RPM.

Yea, around 3500K. Not too buzzy, but the nice thing about this is you really dont have to downshift to get good pick up for normal passing and whatnot.
6MT of course

Not sure what RPM the 5AT is at when driving 85. I would think they would tune it so it would be about the same? Dunno...
Low cruising RPM in 6th? Sure, if your doing 65.

also one thing i would like to add about gearing and the TSX, i live at 6500 feet above sealevel. for thoes of you who dont really know the effects of elevation let me state that our 1/4 times increase by about 1.25-1.5 seconds. we loose about 25% of the HP at this elevation
anyway my TSX 6MT still has enough balls in 6th gear to climb up about a 10% grade and maintain the 80 mph speed. in fact if i start this 2 mile grade at the bottom doing 80 at full throttle i can be doing nearly 100 by the top of the hill without downshifting.
even with as much gearing as the top gears of the TSX has there is still plenty of power on tap.
