Jaguar S-type comes with a 6-speed automatic or a 5-speed manual.

Of course, their "R"(which scored the lowest in Automobile's M5 vs.
RS6 vs. E55 AMG vs S-type R roundup), is only available with an
autobox.

In fact, the M5 was the only tested vehicle available with a manual,
5 speed or otherwise.  Sad state in the automotive world, folks...
