I'll be picking up my Edge on Tuesday 22nd February after ordering on December 20. Total time, just under 9 weeks.

My salesman phoned today and said that the Edge LTD is coming during the week of February 14 (ordered Dec 20). He will phone back with the VIN.

Woot!

They use galvanized steel panels so actual rust would be unlikely unless the zinc coating was missing at that point.

The red candy metallic was an extra $300 but in the grand scheme of things it added less than 1% to the overall cost.

It is a great colour. I feel bad now as I didn't believe the dealership when they told me it was an extra.

Welcome to the (not so) patient waiters. I've been waiting for a month without a peep from the dealership. Out of curiosity, was the metallic red subject to an extra charge?

Ordered my 2011 Edge Limited all wheel drive on December 20 and still no word from the dealer about delivery. They say it will be about 8 weeks. Canadian purchases seem to have a longer wait in spite of the factory being near here. We have a lot of add ons - in fact (I like toys) it pretty well has everything on it. It would be nice to try it out on some snow and ice before it's all gone.

It depends on your dealer VIN allocation, If you are based within the US, I'm sure you'll get your VIN soon.

I'm in Toronto. I'll bug the dealer again next week.

This is somewhat depressing. I ordered an Edge 2011 SEL just before Christmas and I'm settling in for a long wait. My old 2000 Ford Focus was used in the retire your ride program - hope it can make it to the finish line!

What was it they used to say about the Rolls Royce - the only thing you could hear was the ticking of the clock.

Congratulations!! Had my Limited AWD for about 3 months. Absolutely love it. THe car is one of the most fun to drive I have ever owned. All the gadgets do keep it different. I have everything on it but the rear video and see the value in each. Love the remote start, and all the radar features, Vista Roof or as they call it here the BAMR. In regards to the Ambient Lighting, as I recall it is standard on the Limited and though I don't switch colors very often, love the lighting effect. In terms of self park, unless I missed something, it is not an option. It has the rear backup alert and the rear camera that aids in parking or backing up. But do not believe it will parallel park by itself as some cars do.

Thanks. I also selected the Adaptive Cruise Control package and that comes with the HID lights.

I ordered it last night - quite a lengthy process involving proof that I had insured my Focus for the past 2 years and that it was still registered (Retire Your Ride Plan); Costco membership details for the extra $1000 off plus Ford Plan info. They tried to charge me extra for metallic paint but relented when I looked as if I was about to walk.

Today will find out how long the wait is.

Hi everybody, I'm ready to buy the Limited AWD and will be placing an order on Monday. Here are the packages I'll be ordering:

Vision (Blind Spot information system, cross traffic alert, rain sensing wipers)

Driver Entry (Perimeter Alarm, Push Button Start, Power Liftgate, Remote Start)

Canadian Touring (Vista Roof, Navigation)

I was wondering about the ambient lighting - is this a feature to bother with?

I noticed that the self parking system isn't offered in Canada - I wonder why - maybe our snowbanks are too high!

BTW, this is a great forum with a ton of useful information.
