Our friends to the north can Build&Price and add on a $1200 Power Moonroof to either the SE or SES. Judging by the Powershift option which is $1070 for the US and $1250 in Canada, I'm going to guess the moonroof will be a $1000 option in the US.

I was not surprised to see the price range as I posted previously:

no way a top-shelf Fiesta will come in under $18k in my mind. On the low end, if it starts anywhere below $13,500 I'll be shocked. I think loaded up will likely push $19k which leaves room if Ford does a sport model in the $20-22k realm. A $14k Fiesta will more than compete with anything available in that range so there's no reason to go below that.
A fully loaded Fiesta from the factory (excluding anything in the Accessory section such as the $1950 17" wheels) with a moonroof & Powershift should come in around $21,500--a bit more than I had expected.

Compare this to a fully loaded Focus Coupe or Sedan SES 4-spd automatic at $21,600 for its 140 hp unit though the Focus does have 17" wheels. I think it's a given which is the better buy--so many more features on the Fiesta.

It's great that Ford is giving those that reserve a lot of ability to communicate during the order, building, and shipping process. I hope special orders continue to have access to the personalized touch that further sets the Fiesta apart from the pack.
