    Lame, the base hatch does not offer yellow. Custom graphic and tattoos look cool.
    $15,830 including the $35 dollar smoker's package. I do not smoke, but I find it comes in handy. Could not find engine block heater in the options list. Going to see if crank windows are available on the sedan.
    Eureka, stripper model sedan appears to come with crank windows standard.

    Mercifully, the sedan is turned in such a way that the new grille is not visible. If it wasn't, I imagine many visitors to the site with, you know, a sense of aesthetics, would be turned off instantly.

    An optioned SES is perhaps a little more expensive than I would have hoped, but it sure isn't unreasonable. I totally expect to see AMV of $1500 on the first run to hit the market, though. That's how I found the $34,000 Fusion Hybrid.

    OK, the minimum I could come up with for an acceptable trim level (to me) was $16,390.00 for the SE hatch with Sync. But the website says they'll throw in Sync if you reserve online meaning the price would be $15,795.00. To actually option one up the way I'd want, I got $17,795.00 for the SES hatch, but that has the same Sync rebate. As far as I can tell, the full-boat, check-every-box, loaded SES hatch with horrible graphics and an automatic comes to $21,265.00.

    But having sworn off new cars, I would guess that when the first of these start coming off 2-yr leases in 2011, they're going to hit the auction with between 20K and 30K mi. and a wholesale price around $8K. Kind of makes me wish I had a 14-yr-old daughter.

    I hope that price includes a budget for Ford to keep replacing the hinges on its dealer's doors once these are in the lot. These suckers are going to fly right out.

    @FTGDWolverineEdition'09: same shit with the versa. doesn't make any sense. same price i might understand, since there's a wiper and stuff in there offsetting the extra metalwork, but no way should the hatch be more. truth is, you're paying for less ugly.

    @Parramore: Well, looking at 2-ish litre rear wheel sport coupes, the nearest comparable car I could find was the 370Z, which is more than 10k more and has a 3.7L V6 which I wasn't in the market for in the first place.

    I'd have liked a 240SX, or something with a bit more power, but they're 11 years out of production. I'd have had fun with an MR-2, but they're canned too. I'd have loved a Lotus Exige, but they're fantastically far out of my price range, and I don't think they can be had for any price around where I live... Actually, the more I think about it, the more it seems that apart from the Genesis Coupe, the type of car I was looking for is extinct at almost any cost.

    @fuchikoma: If you're looking particularly at the 4 cyl I guess you're right. The 370Z was what I had in mind, assuming you'd bargain with the Nissan saleperson to bring down the price, and assuming a 3.8 Genesis.

    @Parramore: Fair enough... there is a lot more like the 3.8L V6. I tend to like 2L I4 cars, especially turbocharged engines; it's just the right balance of performance, economy, and managability for me. (it's a skating rink outside today, so I don't want another 100-200hp...)

    They got my business because I wanted something like this, had pretty much given up finding it, and just before settling for something else, I heard about these and gave one a try. They actually had to order one for me to buy because they wouldn't stay on the lot for more than a week, so it seems there was an unsatisfied market for this type of car already...
