Interesting looking vehicle... real question is, will it come with a manual transmission? I was looking into the new Toyota Venza and sadly noted it is not available with a manual transmission. The Auris is a fair bit smaller and lighter, and I wont be too surprised if the powers-that-be skimp on the idea that some Americans actually like gears to play with...
