I sat down with my salesman, looked through a book with all the 2008 Edge info in it, and placed an order.
Here's the deal on 2008 Edge's: Ordering began July 16, Scheduling for the 2008 Edge build begins August 16, and production on the 2008 Edge begins September 17.
Perhaps your salesman, over at Podunk Ford Inc. should read up on what's going on.
