You are right, quite impressive. Details on the 2010 MKZ here:

Thanks BigT,
 
I've read through these details before but there is no mention of the MSRP for the 2010 model. The 2008 MKZ FWD is $30,980 + delivery, and the 2009 MKZ FWD is $32,695 + delivery, but I am looking for the starting MSRP for the 2010 model. If it's much higher than the 2009, I'll settle for the 2009.

Be sure to check the options. The 2010 may come with more standard features that would cost extra on the 09 model.

Hello A Kirby,
 
I've often read your posts and know that you are very knowledgable about Ford products. As for options on the MKZ, the car already comes so loaded with standard features that I see no need to add anything extra. Of course some may choose to add a moonroof or a mavigation system but I have no need of those.
 
I had been considering the more affordable Fusion or Milan but I feel that I could manage to buy the base model of the MKZ. I'd love to move up to this entry level luxury car. So if you have any info on the base price for the 2010 model please share it with me (and others who read this). Thank you.

If you're planning to buy the base model regardless of the standard features then it won't matter. But it still wouldn't hurt to at least recognize any differences in standard features so you know what you're getting for the money.

Yes of course I will do that. I note for example that the 2008 model did not have ESC available but it was added to the 2009 car. Indeed the 2009 model would suit my needs and I may buy one. However I do like the improved styling of the 2010 model and will wait for it - provided that the price is not increased substantially.
 
Sooner or later the MSRP will be announced to the public but I was hoping to get it now. Then I will be able to determine whether or not I want to wait for the 2010. If it goes up by more than $2000 for instance, I'll get the 2009 instead. I'm an older retired guy and I need to be careful with my money.

In this economic climate, Ford would be crazy to raise the base price by $2K on a car that is not selling well at all.

Thanks for your input Gregg.
 
You're probably right, and so I will wait for the 2010 model next spring. I can hardly wait to see the car in person and test drive it.

A major shortcoming for me may be corrected on the 2010, and that is the transmission will allow me to shift manually through the gears. Is that what "SelectShift" means?
 
Our family at present has the Infiniti EX and the Mazda3, both with automatics that allow shifting.

Yes, that's it. Lincoln debuted Selectshift in 1999 on the Lincoln LS but it disappeared with the LS in 2006 until now, along with a lot of other features like rain sensing wipers. They only gave up a 9 year head start.
