Depending on how you look at B&P and the info on 2.7, you get feedback that the A/T is "included" with 2.7. If so, just price the 2.7 as such to reflect that. Less confusion since you cannot get the 2.7 without A/T.I get your point that errors can be made. Even the price survey had 2.7 & auto at $3500 but consider the case of the Base 4 door. Never had any option but 10sp auto. How can you screw up and publish its base MSRP at B & P launch? It’s a headline number that is just as important as the “ under 30k “. That one alone makes me think there is more to this. Right now the new build is bad. How can no one at Ford not proof these prices by running builds.
