I think you can the 1.6L ecoboost (Fiesta ST engine) with el Manuél.

Yeah. It only comes with the 1.6L Ecoboost though. No Fusion ST for you, or anyone! :(

That stick means it has the 1.6 ecoboost , good for ~180hp

"Six-speed manual gearboxes will be offered as standard, with dual-clutch six-speed Powershift transmissions optional. A diesel model, with an auto gearbox, will be offered with four-wheel drive for the first time."

I still don't understand why they don't allow the manual with the 2.0 Ecoboost

Yes, but only the small + turbo configuration. The 2.0 is a no go. Really, this is the only reason I wouldn't buy the fusion over so many other cars.

Beats me. Potential loss in the already low FoST and FiST sales I suppose? Someone would have a FuST about it hahaha! I made a funny. :P

I believe there has always been a manual option for it.

But not if you want the 2.0 EcoBoost, Titanium trim, or AWD.

Dammit, Ford.

I think it should be a SHO, not an ST. The ST nameplate should be reserved for hot hatches.

They're doing as well as ever in Europe - and particularly well in Britain - from what I understand, but US sales aren't so hot.

A 'Fusion ST' would be in keeping with what they've done before. There's already been a Mondeo ST, and the Fusion and the Mondeo are one in the same.

used to make clutch components for it ( original stlye thru to this one). I don't know how many shipped, but thousands annually would be a stretch...

Ah I'm glad I didn't get too excited. Was about ready to ask the sales guys at work to find me a diesel Fusion lol.

Ah, yeah, sorry. In Europe, it'll be all but impossible to find a non-diesel Fusion—or, rather, Mondeo.

May have sighed a sad sigh just now, noticing that the picture you posted was a wagon fusion . I know I'm not the first or the last person on here to say this but the states needs more manual diesel wagons.

If the Focus and Fusion EB engines have the same block-to-trans bolt pattern, you could do an easy swap.
