Found this brochure on the Final 500's interesting that they show a manual trans? All Alero final 5's were based on the top of the line GLS, everything from GL1 on up were equiped with autos. Only the GX with sport package got the manual!

They show the pic, but no mention in the text of a manual trans.
Probably an editing error that didn't get caught before printing.

AFAIK all the V6's got automatics regardless of model.

 

All 2004 Aleros received autos except the sport pkg, came in GX coupe only, may have came in sedan, but I have only seen coupes 2.2 4cyl 5sp 15" painted alum. wheels, leather wrapped shifter and steering wheel.
