The irony of that is, when it was still Scion, Jack Hollis(I think he's still with Toyota USA) when he brought the FRS to Jay Leno for promotion, Jay asked him which would sell better manual or automatic? Jack actually said he expected the manual to sell better initially.
That said I don't know how the Scion FRS sales, ignoring the 86 numbers because they're later, ended up being with the manual:auto ratio. If Jack was correct that more manuals were sold earlier...it then is baffling as to why Toyota wouldn't follow suit as there is a pattern established.
