The 2.5 is an "order only" model, so I really don't consider it part of the model lineup.
 
I think you're correct about the 2.5 model though. I'll have to double check Nissan's site to see about that though.
 
And, it's good to see Ford is implementing the smart key technology on the 2010 Fusion. They're really making a push to get back their lost market share aren't they?

Toyota has had this for a while now; and Nissan just recently, I think.

i thought maybe it was tied to all the 'buzz' about the fusion lately.

Looking at some of the new D3 metal they are showing off at the auto show, if this stuff can hold up better than in the past, maybe Detroit can pull off another close call save. It would be nice to shop for cars and have a bunch of them that you like rather than always having to revert to Toyota and Honda because you are afraid of D3 problems. I remember when I was younger it was kind of neat to shop a lot of different alternatives that you wouldn't mind owning.

The smart keys are horrible. We rented an 09 Altima and almost locked our "smart key" in the car a couple of times. It's all pointless, keys work just fine.
 
I wouldn't buy an Altima if it had this period. That said, I wasn't all that impressed with the car. It had over sensitive brakes which drove me bananas.

You have no idea what you're talking about...you cannot lock the car when the key is inside even in the trunk.

You beat me to it. Most mfgrs smart key systems have a feature that you cannot lock the smart key fob in the car, including Nissan. Mazda is that way too. I have no idea what vanman1 is talking about.

I don't know about it being "order-only." I just know my friend from church was looking at a 2.5S/Convenience, but a competing dealer had the 2.5 with leather, moonroof, and DVD-Nav added aftermarket, and it was "on sale" for $2,000 cheaper than the competing 2.5S/Convenience Pkg at the first dealer.

Ford's keyless start (available in the MKS and 2010 Taurus) is the most advanced of any system because it's also tied in to the disappearing keypad in the B pillar. Not only does it automatically unlock the doors when they're touched, the system DOES allow you to lock the fob in the car with the keypad - but it disables the fob at the same time so a thief can't break the window and drive off. When you use the keypad to unlock the car it reactivates the fob. Now that's a handy feature.
