Congrats....I believe we have twins...anyway, you now have to order your rear bumper guard to protect that bumper... www.aslauto.com $29.95 + s/h....

DUH...thanks...I have one of those!!! My advice to npggirl would be to tell the dealer that they have the one that she wants...so to let her have it or she should order from another dealer. I just got my EDGE-loaded last week....the dealer did a swap with another dealer 250 miles away so they could provide to me...I would be very upset if they had the one on the lot that I ordered, if they would not sell it to me....GOOD LUCK!!!

Tell the dealer you want the one they have on the lot...they may resisit because you already have one purchased, even tho' on order. What is BAMR?

When I "barge-in", it will not listen until it prompts the "listening" que....

Thanks for the tip....how do you activate the "barge-in" mode?

Black...I have not seen any offerred at any other color....

I'll be able to dig into the SYNC this weekend when I have more time...good to hear of shortcuts... I'll take a few pics and post...it's pretty sweet lookin' FYI...I also ordered the rear bumper guard that has been discussed on this Board, it should arrive Monday 11/5...

When using SYNC, you need to tell it what device you'd like to hear (AM, FM, CD, USB, etc)...so what I mean by "clunky" is that you must activate SYNC, then the "voice" recites all of the options before you are permitted to make a selection. This is great the first time you use it, however I don't need to hear the entire list everytime I wish to use my ipod. Since your ipod plugs into the USB connection, which is at the end of the list, you must wait for all of the recitation before it will accept your selection. It would seem that you should just be able to hit the button and say "USB", then whatever artist you wish to hear. Remember that this is new, so there be a shortcut or two that we have not yet discovered...however there is a readout on the Nav screen that says "listening" when it is time for you to talk. This does not display until after all of the options are read. The White Sand is fantastic...very deep, metallic-looking and slightly off-white.

AWD Limtied IS available with 20"...part of the package includes sport suspension...$895 extra for both.

We picked up our Limited Edge yesterday...got most everything on it: White Sand/Camel (beautiful) Navigation SYNC Power Lift Gate Panoramic Sun Roof Tow pkg Floor Mats Organizer ..did not get DVD as the dog doesn't watch movies, only News... Dealer did a great job...I submitted internet requests to 6 local dealers, only got a follow-up from one dealer (amazing!!!), so they got my business at the X-Plan price. They did not have in-stock, but found what we wanted 250 miles away, so they did a dealer swap and went and got it for me for delivery yesterday, a one-day turnaround...very good service plus the last day of the month, while 5 other dealers did not respond...I can't get over that one...I guess that is one of the problems they face... First impressions are that the brakes (normal driving) are somewhat mushy, but our Honda's seem a little too grabby...I guess we have both ends of the spectrum...we'll get used to them I'm sure. Good pickup, but less than the Mazda CX-7, which we drove....different vehicles I know...the Edge is much more in a luxury class in feel, quietness, and amenities. A couple of things we did not expect...Homelink was on the drivers visor, even though not noted anywhere as an option or standard equipment. Also the keyless entry pad on the driver's door, which was noted as a dealer option...included with this one. Power lift gate works very well with an auto shutoff if it hits something on the way down. My wife loves this feature when shopping...I guess now she can have both arms full!! Interior leather appointments are very calssy and comnfortable. The Sync seems a little clunky to me, but I will reserve judgement after using for awhile. Bluetooth syncing was very smooth and works great. The dealer assisted in setting up our phones, and said it can handle up to 12 phones at once. Another nice feature is the rear seat fold-down. This can be done manually at the rear doors or by push-button from the rear hatch, very nice if you come out of Home Depot with alot more than you expected, and have your hands full...just hit the button (one for each side) and down goes the seat for more room...very cool. We will be traveling on vacation in 3 weeks, so we will put about 2,000 on it, so I will have some real-life feedback upon our return...A full report then. Thanks to all of you for your input on this Board while I was doing my research, you were all VERY helpful!!!

Both USB + mini plug ...accepts an I-Pod just fine and SYNCs well....

So...I would need to request a "PIN" from someone, and then present to a dealer for a better price?

I'm thinking it was a come-on...as they sent an "KI PIN", whatever that is.....could someone fully explain the X-PLan?

I filled out a "build your own" form on a local ford website, which was sent to a local dealer near my zip code. I was e-mailed a PIN # from them...I presume an X-Plan PIN. Is this legit, and what is the best way to use in order to get the best discount?

If you don't mind, what was the sticker and how much was discounted?

Sorry for some reason I get an error message trying to look at the pics...this is the color I am going to order, so I would like to seem them. How long from time of order until delivery?

Anyone seen the Ford Edge website? While delivering 2008 models, their website only lists the 2007 model...seems rather backward in today's high-tech society.... http://www.fordvehicles.com/crossovers/edge/allnew/

Are you pleased with your decision to have hte CX-7 vs. the Edge?

That's a negative...about 10 cu ft less luggage capacity...but it handles like a sports car and is very quick...this is for my wife, so the braking issue is a concern...I have read the other threads but no one has definitively stated how the issue has been resolved in 2008.

I'm looking to buy an Edge Limited...we like it very much, and are comparing to the Mazda CX-7. Edmunds reports that the brakes on the Edge takes 153 ft. to stop from 60mph...while the CX-7 takes 113 ft. This is a BIG difference in a panic situation. So, I'm looking for feedback from other owners on this issue....
