  And to follow up to this, the actual model with the 6-speed manual, the Technology SH-AWD, is $3730 more. The base SH-AWD car before tax in the mid $400's sounds correct, however the next step up with Technology and SH-AWD will be considerably more. Roughly, even $3730 over 3 years is approximately $100 per month, give or take. Something in the low to mid $500's before tax would seem correct.
