For some reason, not sure why, the manual G 37 costs more than the auto, unlike with every other car, where it is less.
Incorrect!! Most luxury cars now charge a premium for a manual transmission. Automatics are more appealing to the average luxury car buyer (upper-class, over 45 yrs old, multiple kids), so they're much easier for a dealership to move. If a dealership gets a manual transmission vehicle, that car is aimed at a much smaller segment of the luxury car buying population. Due to that, once you get into the more expensive brands, manuals will always carry a premium and most often require a special order.
