no it's not standard, BUT it's almost always the case.

the invoice price of auto and manual was about 2k apart. so to make the overall pirce pretty much the same, on the 5 speed, almost all of them come with spoiler, graphite wheels, and also the lsd. that helps to make up that 2k difference.

read the engine / tranny forum, there is a thread telling you how to check the door jam and see if the car has lsd
