I believe the 6spd is only available with the 2.0L engine.

Don't do that. I live in Switzerland and the most IS drivers have a 2.0 IS200. I had one as well and it's performance output is just crap. I sold it 2 months after I got it....... ok, ok, if you upgrade it with a turbo or supercharger you'll maybe get an IS200 with enough power but since our street laws are very strict this never was on option for me...
