I'm being swindled! Please help!

Please don't tl;dr. I need help. I've made a mistake and I am trying to resolve it.
I realize I messed up, but I've run into a financial circumstance, where I am no longer in a position to purchase the car.

So, I ordered the FR-S from the factory, only paid a 100 dollar deposit sometime in early July.

August 22nd they asked me to come in to test drive one they had on the lot.
When I got there they suggested I get my trade-in appraised, while I test drove the car, I had just got done working all night so this seemed like a reasonable idea, so I complied.(mind you, I was very tired)

When I was finished test driving, they had suggested I fill out the paperwork, because I was sure that I was going to buy the vehicle.

I complied.
While in the finance office, the finance manager tells me he probably can't get me approved, unless I tack on the life insurance and the extended warranty.
When i started to get nervous about the price on paper, 34000!!!! He said "I can see you're getting nervous, Don't worry about a thing, none of this is final until you take delivery of the vehicle and after we get financing we can just take the life policy and the warranty off."


I am somewhat relieved, I sign the paperwork as I'm eager to get my keys for my trade-in back and get out of there. (really dumb move. I know.)

I decide that I can't afford the car, and try to notify them before the car is even on their lot that I am no longer interested.

No response until 2 days ago, they told me "you signed paperwork you have to buy this car"
I have contacted the general manager, and I am going to go in to discus this with him, without the sales manager who has been sending me harassing phone calls these 2 days threatening me with a "signed cashable contract"

Important note:
Upon reading the contract, I noticed that the VIN is that of a manual FR-S (which I ordered) BUT the paperwork says that the car is automatic.
VIN is listed as a manual car, but the contract says I signed for an automatic.
Does this void the contract?

Any help is appreciated.
I'm freaking out.
