Can't see how these won't sell.

everything should be done soon

According to someone I know who works directly with Ford Marketing, there is some sort of problem with the Vista Roof. So there is a good probability of what bals13's dealer told him is true. Infact all the Edges with Vista Roofs currently on the auto show circuit are preproduction models, as they are unable to get production models currently.

Guy get over it! There is nothing wrong with the Vista Roofs.

foxrun, you're a tool

 

If everything was fine, then Ford would have started selling Edge models on the dealer floor back on Oct 16th.

 

The reality is that no one has their order filled, and Ford can't commit to a ship date.

Yup that would be a good way to discribe me at Ford, but all jobs are done better and easier with the right tool.

The delays are for all the right reasons. Ford is serious about the product and if you look at thier resent quality record with new product (Fusion, MKZ, Milan, 500, Mondeo, Freestyle) you would know there were delays and there were zero recalls.

Oh ya, got a shipping date, but I'll let you sweat it.

"Stop talking out of your ass, everything is fine."

 

WTf??????

 

"everything is fine."???!!

 

That means "shit to a tree" to us who are not as informed as you!!!!!

 

"Everything is fine"....is the reason people get divorced!!!!

What are you saying??????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:nonono:

You probably saw FEU Vehicles, I think Webasto is having major quality issues. I don't know if the BAMR (Vista Roof) has even been PPAP'ed...I think all BAMR's shipped were shipped in on ALERT?

 

So as far as I know, there are delays on units with the Vista Roof aka the BAMR (Big Ass Moon Roof)

Stop talking out of your ass, everything is fine.

Many many of them are here at OAC with the vista roof. They all work and well and absolutely no leaks in the rain. Don't worry yours is on the way.

Looks great. But when you give it a second look the crud from the old sign is still there, which looks really shitty right behind the LINCOLN logo.

Ford management please, first O OF HE FREESTAR and now this. It really is the little things that kill.

:bike:

Or...you can always go buy a 2007 Dodge Nitro LOL

WHAT? I was complaining about the disparity in pricing between Canada and the U.S.

I am making the Edge and now I have to pay $4000 more for it then a U.S. consumer.

In the U.S. the Base MSRP is $26,000 and in Canada it is $33,000 with a 10% currency difference a Canadian pays $4,000 more, why?

Canadians follow newer trends closer then the general U.S. consumer (excluding the U.S. west coast) and with this extra cost here will a situation be created toward failure (incentives)? Is that being done on purpose?

Does anyone have any idea as to why this disparity could or should make sense?

WTF r u talking about?

This vehicle has everything, versatility, power (260+HP), style. If you want to have an all new vehicle ahead of everyone else, then you may have to shell out a few more beans. I did that before, and it was worth it. Maybe you should buy a used car one year after they stop making that style. You could save a bundle, but you will have to keep it hidden in the garage, or property values on your street will go down.

Or I could go to the states and buy the Edge for $4000 dollars less.

Ford announces pricing for 2007 Edge

 

Oakville, Ontario - Ford has announced pricing for its all-new, Canadian-built 2007 Edge crossover, which will start at $32,999.

 

The Edge will be released in four models, starting with the SE in front-wheel drive for $32,999; the SEL starts at $35,999. In all-wheel drive, the Edge is priced at $34,999 in SE trim, and $37,999 in SEL trim. Available options will include $500 18-inch painted aluminum wheels, $320 reverse sending system, $1,700 Vista sunroof, $1,200 DVD entertainment system and DVD navigation system ($2,700 on SE, $2,300 on SEL).

 

All Edge models are powered by a 3.5-litre V6 with six-speed automatic transmission, and include standard Advance Trac stability program with roll stability control, and side and curtain airbags. The Edge will also share its platform with the Lincoln MKX; both will be built at the company's plant in Oakville, Ontario

Well I won't be lining up to purchase an Edge. The highups have screwed us Canadians again. $33K for a base Edge? With the dollar right now that's about $6K more than if you bought one in the USA. I smell rebate incentive plans on the horizon.

Ford, to put it simply if the price is over $30 grand you fucked up.

I thought about buying one but now I'll have to wait till the market talks back to you and your forced to put incentives on it.

:bike: Just one question. Why set ourselves up for the embarrassment?
