From what people are saying around here, maybe we should add the Smart-Key option too. That said, is MSRP a fair price or could we reasonably negotiate a lower price?

SmartKey is a very nice feature. And very distinctive and very useful. However, you will no longer be buying a no options vehicle and options cannot be purchased ala carte. In your case, look at the lowest package that offers SmartKey and that is what you will get with the car.
Even now, I doubt you will be able to get less than MSRP; not unless you find a rural dealer who has a number of them on the lot and wants to sell them or a very flexible dealer. Check out
Intellichoice. I think they are the best of the car advice sites becaue they evaluate cars based upon Total Cost of Ownership, not resale value. But I point you three because they show the invoice values for the cars and the packages and that gives you a starting point if you want to negoitiate.
