I had an '08 Edge LTD AWD on a three year lease.  At the end of three years and 146,000 kms (90,700 miles) it was time for another vehicle.  I thought I'd try out the Venza, something similar but different.  After a test drive, is was not impressed.  Although it drove fine and had a nice ride, all I could say was that it was a "nice" car.  I didn't think it had any personality and definitely offereed no excitment.  In the end, I ended up buying a 2011 Edge LTD.  I loved my '08 and the '11 looks to be even better.
