I think you heard right cause the 1.8 NA engine has manual standard with auto as an option while the 1.4 turbo has auto standard and manual "not available".

Would be interesting to know if it would be possible to put the 6 speed & 1.8 liter in my XFE when my engine dies.
The 1.8 has to be lighter then my 2.2 (unless GM just used the same block for both). If it can get 36 mpg in a 3,100 lb Cruze using the 100 lb = 1 mpg rule putting that engine in my 2,700 lb Cobalt coupe XFE should get me 40+ mpg even before hypermiling.
