The AWD model needs a manual transmission option. People want this, Ford. Many of us are enthusiasts who have shared long relationships with Ford, and would prefer to drive a stick. Please, Ford, make a nod to your enthusiast consumers by offering manuals on future AWD models. I drive a 2012 Focus, and I was giving the new Fusion serious thought until I learned I couldn\'t get an AWD with manual. That\'s my only reason for not getting the Fusion. And I do mean only reason...it\'s a stunning car and your design team should be beaming.
