Its possible it got built, had issues and then went into major rectification (or whatever Toyota call it) for some reason and got a manual gearbox installed and earmarked for a different market after it got worked on? All regular consumer grade stuff is much better in Japan because that's what Japanese consumers expect. If something had an issue they might just say - Fuck it. Send it to the US market or the Euro market.
