Does the Lexus 300 come with a manual transmission?

I’m looking for a luxury sports sedan and the Lexus 300 looks like a good fit. I know it has quite a bit of power and looks to match, but I’m not sure if I can get it with a stick. Does the Lexus 300 offer a manual transmission?

Unfortunately, Lexus 300 models made after 1997 don’t offer manual transmissions.
You’re probably referring to the
Lexus ES 300
, Lexus’ flagship sedan since 1989.
If you really want to get an automatic transmission, you’ll have to go all the way back to the 1996 model. Between 1989 and 1996, the Lexus 300 offered a five-speed manual transmission that was paired with either a 2.5-liter V-6 or a 3.0-liter V-6.
