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....

I was thinking of Infiniti when I wrote this. Not sure how many others do that. I also believe they learned to package in more options now to muddy the comparison.
Agree though - for Scion and Subaru the going rate seems to be 1k for 5AT, or about $20/month. Doesn't seem to hard on the wallet if you can't manage a little hand-foot coordination.
