So on 11/06/10 We went to the dealer and we accepted the offer on the table and took the 2011 Sport. Someone told me "Take it, instant gratification" They were right... Its a great driving truck, and since there aren't many out yet in Northern NJ, you can watch as drivers crane their necks to check it out.
We got asked at several stop lights to "Roll down the window... What is that?... Its beautiful!" After the second time my wife looked at me and asked if I was planning on tinting out the front windows soon.
I def. see the difference in ride from our 2008 Limited w/ 20's. I have to say I was worried that it might be a crashing ride with 22's but its great! This is the truck ive been waiting for. Firm, quiet, and sharp handling. It really drives awesome and feels more like my old Mercedes CLK AMG then an SUV or crossover.
I think my SYNC stopped working, But I may be doing something wrong, so I'm not 100% sure yet. Everything else seems to work well.
We got the Cargo package included on ours but the dealer took the charge off. They installed the cargo cover and it is the worst looking piec of garbage Ive ever seen. In good faith I couldn't even list it here for sale to someone and tell them it'll look good. Its a joke. I had a great roll up shade in my 2005 Escape and I'm wondering why Ford couldn't put the same roll up shade in the Edge? What a shame they went as far as placing the EDGE logo in the front turn lenses, and then dropped the ball on some details (like a decent cargo cover) completely????
Overall, I would recommend the Edge, and specifically the Sport to anyone.
Pictures tomorrow.

FOR A GRAND TOTAL OF $43680.
They're giving me invoice $40678 - 4750 in rebates and cash, ($35928) plus paying my last lease payment left on my 2008 limited ($340)
Take it? or leave it? It sounds fair to me and Id have the Sport by Friday.
So I guess were going to take this.... My Wife spoke to the dealer about options we weren't interested in(back lit door sills, and cargo package), and they agreed to drop to $35343. I knew she could convince me to do stuff, but I guess I underestimated her persuasiveness over others.:wacko:
