Welcome to the forum. I am pleased you like your new Edge. You must share some pics of it with us when it arrives.

I've reloaded them. Hopefully they're better now.

You can see them better in this pic, with the window down.

Added some wind deflectors.

Looking very cold there but the Edge looks good in the snow. We never had those earlier models here in the UK.

My 2018 ST-Line (European market successor to the Sport) has what I think may have been the original option tow-bar fitted. It doesn't interfere with the tailgate sensor, is detachable and appears to correspond with what is illustrated in the Owner's Handbook.

Car looks great. I like the interior. Nearly all the Edges here have Ebony interiors.

Welcome to the forum. Hope you enjoy your new Edge. Hopefully you be able to share some pics of it with us once you've picked it up. Where in the world are you?

Welcome to you. Where in the world are you and can you tell us a bit about your Edge? Pics are always welcome too!

I don't blame you Bendmac - I always request an automatic when renting a car on the continent or North America. Changing gear with the wrong hand is always the hardest part in my opinion and best avoided if at all possible (looking up in the wrong direction for the rear view mirror comes a close second, but there's not a lot you can do about that!). The Edges we have here are identical to yours other than the engines. Ours are all twin turbo 2 litre diesels (even the ST-Line models) - a lot less powerful than over the pond but as our fuel is currently averaging at $6.17/US gallon in the UK it is much more economical.

Welcome to the forum. Please let us see some pics of your new Edge. That film treatment sounds interesting. It's not something I've heard of before. Does it change the external appearance at all?

My Edge just has this rubber thingy that sits in there: like this:

Are the diesel models not available in North America then?

That's interesting. But if that's the case why would the owner's manual be quoting the fuel consumption figures in Imperial MPG? There is a massive difference between Imperial mpg and US mpg.

I'm pretty certain my Edge's settings are for Imperial gallons. I've not seen anything on the menu to select US gallons, the only other option being litres.

And I thought we were the odd ones here in the UK still officially using miles, mph and mpg but selling fuel in litres!
