Titanium SX automatic
MSRP $21,430.00 U.S.
Trade 2004 Ford Taurus (in sad shape)
Cash back / insentives
Out the door $16,500.00 U.S.

I got a white EX but I liked the titanium more than I thought I would. Did your Titanium SX come with a contrasting light color interior?

My interior is black . Cloth seats black with subtle red stitching leather wraped steering wheel with the red stitch, red stitching on the door handles ,black dash. LOVE IT!!! Will post some pics later ..I think they called it Black Sport Interior

Yeah, the red stitching really looks nice.

we got a 2011 SX auto with leather and roof (couldn't find a manual, I guess they don't exist out here) for 17890, 3k under invoice. We had 2000 in rebates.

It's very common that a manufacturer will simplify a model range as that model winds down as it about to be replaced. The (European, all-new to us) 2012 Focus will be available in hatch again.

Just signed for a Forte5 SX in Santorini Blue, loaded except for sat-nav. Six-speed auto because my wife banned be from manual.** Also, admittedly, for day-to-day commuting use I prefer it also.

Should be receiving it in less then a week. I'm a semi-used-to-be-pro photographer so I'll try to get some shots that aren't horrible. I don't see a ton of photos of the 5 in this color.
