You're going to have a hard time finding such a car with a manual transmission. Lexus' target market for this vehicle usually don't want a car with a manual transmission.

youve pretty much picked out a camry, and lexus didnt sell an ES w/ manual trans. you'd have to pick up a camry DX (lowest trim) for manual trans and you'd lose all the lexus luxury. as with all toyotas, lexus also has one of the best reliability ratings in the market.

i think the IS is the only lexus with available manny tranny. and you get all the luxury too, although ive heard some complaints about its difficult-to-live-with cockpit. too sporty for the oldies, but it was made more for the youngins.
