Thank you for the feedback. The dealer just got new Sport model in with the color and options that I wanted. My only concern is the towing package and given the fact it has 22 inches wheels towing capacity would probably be around 2000 rather than 3500. Also, the dealer sent a window sticker of Limited model with the colors and options that I wanted however he says it's about 1000 miles away and I'd have to pay $1,000 to have it delivered. I don't think the dealer realizes that I'm not in a hurry to buy a new vehicle and I'm looking for a best possible deal. One thing that bothers me is when I asked the dealer for a brochure he said he didn't have any. It seems I could probably get a loaded Sports model for ~37K and I am not sure about the Limited model something I'd have to look into. Let me know what it would take to get the price down. I keep on hearing about x-plan but I don't know anything about it (have not purchased a vehicle for almost 12 years). Also, should I wait for 2012 models? I'd surmise they will come out in a few months and perhaps Sport model would have more options such as HID headlights and adaptive cruise control? Thanks.

I did a bit of research on Ford Edge Limited / Sport models and I'm leaning towards the Limited model due to the fact it has more options (HID headlights, adaptive cruise control, towing package, etc) vs the Sport model. Granted, the Sport model is a looker and has performance-tuned suspension. The difference in ride between the two isn't that significant given the short amount of time I test drove both models (the Limited model had 20 inches wheels). The dealer indicated that the production for Sport model has stopped and it's becoming "rare". He wouldn't budge in price. He offered $40K for it. I see some people have bought Sport model for ~$37K. I don't know the pricing on Limited model. The dealer also indicated that the metallic black will be replaced with flat black in a couple months. I don't know if the dealer is telling me the truth. Naturally, he seems to be anxious to sell what he has on the lot. Any insight will be appreciated - I want the best possible deal and I'm not that desparate to buy a new vehcile. Ethan
