"Ford is considering the following features for future model years of the Fusion. These features will not be available for the 2006 Model Year. To help us gauge interest in these features, please select the options you would add to your Fusion if they were available at the listed price.
All-Wheel Drive $1,790.00
Manual Transmission with V6 Engine
Satellite Radio $260.00
Bluetooth Hands-Free Phone Integration $290.00
Electronic Stability Control $480.00
Navigation System (DVD-based) $2,000.00
Audio Input Plug for Portable Music Player $50.00
500 Watt Audio System - AM/FM Stereo w/in-dash CDx6, MP3 and 8 Speakers $700.00
18" Chromed Aluminum Wheels $830.00
Rear Spoiler $320"
Seems like they've been listening to foums like these and are trying to get a better grip on the real potential for these options. I'd take the V6 manual and stability control. But the price for AWD is too high and it would likely impact fuel economy.
