Knowing scion, their manuals are always cheaper (as a matter of fact, idk any car that has a cheaper automatic version, but there probably are a few). Usually it's by 1-2k, which to me is not too negligible on a 20k car. Also, this auto has ever more parts to it (paddle shifters and all the things u need for those), which will most likely increase the cost even further. So I see .00001% chance of it being cheaper, but maybe that's just me.

Don't get me wrong, toyota's automatics are great for what you pay for and if you NEED to drive it, but I'll pick stick over it any day....
