Just got my new C5 Y2K Deep Dish Rims for my baby, 2002 WS6 Trans Am.

You may have gotten one of the Edges that rolled off the assembly line in Columbia. Definitely a dealer issue, it's usually a bad idea to attempt any sort of self service on the AC.

Everyone has a right to their own opinion. It's respecting the opinions of others that sets us apart.

Hard to believe it, but I actually agree with MOFSTEEL on this one, no comparing an Audi to ANY Ford or Lincoln. However, there's no doubt that the quality gap has narrowed substantially over the last few years and I belive that the fit and finish of the 2011 Edge will be pretty damn good. Not to mention the purchase and maintenance costs will be much lower than an Audi. My Uncle always jokes about the $1000 tune up he seems to always pay for when he brings his in for service! If money were no object, I'd be springing for the Audi or better. But face it, if money were no object, none of us would be discussing Ford to begin with.

Felt the same way a year ago. I swore I'd never drive a Ford, EVER, and was on my way out to purchase a Toyota Sienna with my wife. After a test drive, we saw the new Flex's at the Ford dealer across the street and went over to take a look. A few weeks later we put the order in and have been loving it ever since. One of the best vehicles I've ever owned hands down. Hoping you're experience is much the same. Good Luck and keep us posted as to when it comes in.

Yup, rebates are gone, but for me this is much better since I'm paying cash and will not be financing or leasing. The %0 finance/lease rates are gone.

I haven't seen any claims of +40 mpg, that would be simply amazing. Most reviewers are pegging the mileage in the low 30's, which is still phenomenal for a 300+ HP motor. Can you imagine our Dad's big block V8's pulling that off! Here's a link I found, http://green.autoblog.com/2010/03/04/2011-ford-mustang-v6-gets-31-mpg-highway-first-ever-for-300-hp/

The new round of incentives were released today and it looks like Ford is offering, in Canada at any rate, Employee pricing on most 2011 models. Looks like the Edge is included in this, as the only exclusions in the fine print are the 2011 Shelby GT, F-150 Raptor and a few of the big trucks. This is just what I was waiting for and correct me if I'm wrong, but Employee A-Plan pricing should be even better than X-Plan? Happy Canada Day indeed! Time to place my order. ∞ Ford Employee Pricing ("Employee Pricing") is only in effect from July 1, 2010 to August 31, 2010 (the "Program Period") and refers to A-Plan pricing ordinarily available to Ford employees and excludes any CAW negotiated bonuses or other special incentives that employees may receive from time to time. Employee Pricing is available on the purchase or lease of most new 2010 and 2011 Ford vehicles [excluding 2010 F-150 Raptor, F-Series Chassis Cabs, E-Series Cutaways and Stripped Chassis, F-650/F-750] / [2011 Mustang Shelby GT 500, F-150 Raptor, F-Series Chassis Cabs, E-Series Cutaways and Stripped Chassis, F-650/F-750]. The new vehicle must be delivered or factory ordered from your participating Ford Dealer during the Program Period. This offer can be used in conjunction with most retail consumer offers made available by Ford of Canada at the time of either factory order or delivery, but not both. Employee Pricing is raincheckable. Employee Pricing is combinable with the Commercial Connection Program but not combinable with CPA, GPC, CFIP, Daily Rental Allowance, A/X/Z/D/F-Plan and A/Z-Plan Loyalty program incentives.

Nice. First time I've seen that MyFordTouch PDF booklet, lot of good details there.

You're probably looking at mid to low 6 second 0-60 times with the new sport stock. The sport model also has the taller gear ratio, which should provide for a faster sprint compared to the other models or previous Edge's. Keep in mind that this is just the tip of the iceberg, the Ecoboost engine has proven itself to be an incredible motor for mods. Some of the Taurus SHO guys are squeezing out massive HP increases with just programming alone. You do however risk your warranty if you go that route, but don't be surprised to see some very fast Edge's over the next few months as the 2011 sports become available. I was able to track my Flex when I ordered it last year. My dealer provided me with a VIN and I was able to track it's progress, you should be able to get that from your dealer as well.

Wow, doesn't get more informed than having someone walk up and down the assembly line! Thanks for the update.

Is it that bad?

Let's give MyTouch some credit. More like installing Windows 7 on a Commodore 64.

The stock 18" rim width for a 2007 Edge is 7.5". This means that you have a recommended 8.83" of actual tire width to play with. This can vary between manufacturers, but in most cases the widest safely you could go on a stock rim is 255. If you can find a shop willing to do it, you could conceivably go wider, but you'd be putting your safety at risk and most likey end up comprising the ride and handling.

Thanks for tracking that down. If true, not the greatest of incentives, but hey, $750 is $750. It'll pay for BLIS or maybe even the Driver Entry Package.
