Those long forms they use cost like $15 ea or something... I've made some dealerships go through 4-5 of them because they always got something wrong on it. you could fight it and maybe they'll take the car back, but since the papers are electronically transferred to the DMV, it's probably listed as used now.

Basically, LOOK AT YOUR CONTRACT and any forms that show what you HAVE NOT RECIEVED yet. If you have nothing showing that, then they don't legally owe you anything.

Lastly, live and learn. a Lease is with the bank, not the dealership. You NEVER tell dealer what you want to do, ALWAYS negotiate the BEST PRICE before talking about buying/financing/leasing.

Of course, there's plenty of info we don't know yet, so it's a bit hard to give accurate advice here. If you feel you really were screwed, you could always go consult an attorney.
She has some protection but not much as you mentioned:

I would still talk to the manager and if that does not work talk to the State Attorney General and perhaps the BBB...

And I know all car dealers and salesman are not crooked, but you essentially have to approach the car buying business as if all of them are and protect your best interests every step of the way.

Car dealers know what they are doing, they do this for a living all day long. They know most people are on an emotional roller coaster when you go to sign all the paperwork and most buyers just want to drive their new car and get out of the dealership since they have most likely been there for hours....
