None here yet that I know of in western Washington. FordVehicles shows 1-2 not very well equiped units at several dealers for the last 2-3 weeks but they aren't really there. The only other 2-row I'm interested in right now is the CRV but they are selling fast and close to MSRP. I'd rather pay more for the Edge and get it at X-Plan through my employer than pay MSRP. I'd be willing to order an Edge through my nearest dealer but I can't make up my mind on colors.

Let's crunch some numbers. You will get slightly different numbers depending on your source. I am using: Ford Vehicle Comparison 2007 Edge SEL FWD vs 2007 Freestyle Limited FWD The only way I can compare the two is to estimate them as rectangular bricks: Volume = Lenght X Width X (Height - Ground Clearance) Edge: Length 185.7" Width 75.8" Height 67.0" Ground Clearance 8.0" Height Adjusted for ground clearance: 59" Weight 4086 lbs Freestyle: Length 199.8" Width 74.4" Height 65.9" Ground Clearance 5.1" Height Adjusted for ground clearance: 60.8" Weight 3959 lbs Fresstyle is longer. Edge is wider. Freestyle is taller adjusted for ground clearance. Edge brick volume: 481 cubic feet Fresstyle brick volume: 523 cubic feet % difference: 8.7% Edge brick density: 8.5 lbs / cubic foot Freestyle brick density: 7.6 lbs / cubic foot % difference: 12%

I suspect the same thing is happening here. Some of the ones showing up in Ford Direct have been there for a couple of weeks. If they were actually at the dealership I think some of them should have been sold by now.

I've been using Ford's web site to monitor several zip codes in western Washington. Most dealers show none. A lucky few show as many as 2. I haven't bothered contacting any of the dealers to see if they actually have them or not since none of the ones I saw listed have the navigation system.
