Why not just order the car you want from the dealer of your choice? You may have to get upgraded a year to do that but that would be my suggestion, and the price difference may more than cover current transportation costs. ---

I didn’t get the newer year because the '09’s had a $3,500 rebate. Also, I didn’t have time to wait around as the Ford Advantage Plan expires at the end of this month. ---

Agreed! I’ve never owned an automatic (and hopefully never will have to). While I’m glad the Fusion is still offered with a manual, I wish it (and others) could be had with a manual with the bigger engine.
