  1. Agree. May be able to get away with it the first year on the stock tires but AWD is not a substitute for snow tires when it comes to stopping/steering and general control in the snow and ice. I invested in almost new 18" 2011 Limited chrome rims along with almost new Blizzaks for $1100. Will spend another $350 to get after market TPMS and have them installed and balanced. All said and done, will spend $1500. I have never been a fan of the black police like rim look for the winter!

  2. I ordered a 2011 Limited AWD Sept. 22/10 from a dealer in a small town east of Ottawa Ont. Canada. I was told it would take 4-6 weeks to come in. After 4 weeks I inquired about when it will arrive at the dealer. They told me that they didn't know, and it seemed that very few Edge's were arriving at any of the area dealers, I should check back in a couple of weeks. When I checked back the Sales Manager said "there are major production restrictions for Canada and dealerships have virtually no inventory on the ground and very little allocation for Retail orders." He is right! For the past 3 weeks I have been monitoring dealer inventory from Ottawa as far west as Toronto and there are very few Edges on dealer lots. I was very encouraged when I saw the pictures of all the Edges sitting at the Oakville plant that Livio posted. Since Livio's post, there hasn't been any increase in the inventory of the dealers I've been monitoring. Did all those Edge's go to the States? Are they still in Oakville? Livio's poll seems to have stalled also, so I'm curious...where are the Edges!? What and why are there restrictions for Canada?

    BTW my 07 Lexus ES350 didn't take this long, and it was built and shipped from Japan!
