Good_Hands Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 Hey RayoVac, can you provide some clarification on the color of the dash tray? Is it silver like it was on the 2007 or does it match the charcoal black dash? Also, I'd love to see a picture of those Pirellis tread pattern up close. I believe the only Pirellis that come in this size are: Scorpion STR Scorpion STR A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you say Dash Tray, what exactly are you talking about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamers1 Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 When you say Dash Tray, what exactly are you talking about? The tray the sits atop the dash just above the NAV screen. It's more or less sqaure in shape with the side closest to the windshield being curved or convex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BPM Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 We actually just got an 08 limited at our local dealer and I peeked inside - the tray and the surrounding plastic match the charcoal dash. That interior is pretty damn sexy It also had the 20" wheels - and the "sport tuned suspension" which explains the stiffer ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
npggirl Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 More Pictures :party2: Dang...It is GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *drooling* WOOO HOOOOO!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
npggirl Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 As promised here are the pictures of my new Edge. 2008 Vapor Silver Limited with Nav, Sync, Appearance Package, 20" Wheels, Rear Cargo Mgt. As some of you know my wife and I have had a 2007 SEL Edge since January. This will be our second Edge. We will have TWO! A couple of thing I have noticed driving it home from the dealer: The new rear handle is very nice. Easier then the 2007. The ride is a bit firmer, this could be a suspension tune change from ford... or due to the 20" wheels. I love the appearance package, well worth it!!! The red inserts and stitching is awesome. I paired my BT Phone with no problem to Sync. My contacts, previous calls, MP3s (on the phone) all became readily available. It was very cool. I made a number of calls and it sounded pretty good. Maybe not as good of phone sound quality as I hoped but totally usable. The callers on the other end made no negative comments about the sound. The NavTeq DVD is version 6p, this is the same version currently available from NavTeq's web site. The one turn key start thing is cool... Just give the key a slight twist and let go, the car will start itself. I wish they would have just done the fob and a button on the dash. They clearly have all the technology in place. The voice control does more then just Nav and Phone. I was able to tell it to do Audio System, CD, Disk 4... and it switch everything for me. Cool! O.k. so I know I said "Cool" a lot, but there is a lot of technology to like! Just wanted to say, saw this color in person tonight. Very very attractive color Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT475 Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 Congradulations, Did they improve the center vent in 2008 to allow open and closure of them? On my 2007, my right hand gets frozen with the A/C blowing from the center vents (console). There is no way I direct away that cold air from my hand of turn it down except from the main blower power setting which reduces the overall circulation. I think that was one of the biggest mistake they made on the interior of te EDGE in 2007. Like the side front vents, they should have added the capability to close them or not.

GT475 Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 Are you saying the vent can't be adjusted left/right and up/down? No, What I am saying is they can be oriented few degrees up/down and left/right but even that is not enough to really send the cold air away from the steering wheel or my legs. What I would have like is the ability to close them 100% like the one on each side of the dash by the door. These have the open/close slider at the bottm.

Marc G Vents on both sides of the center stack on the 2008 do not have a closer at the bottom. They cannot be completely closed. Only the side vents can be closed.

Gate292 Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Hey RayoVac I have been lurking around here for a while, but this is my first post. I am looking to get an Edge Limited this year, and Silver Vapor and Black are the colors I am trying to decide on. Having lived with your Silver Vapor for a while now, what do you think of it? Does it have its first scratch and if so, does it show up or does the lighter color cover it somewhat? How much does it take for it to start to look "dirty"? I am living in the city right now, but later this year we are looking to move to a rural town. And a place with lots of snow in winter. Do you have any good tips for me? Thanks!

Gate292 Gate, I also live in a snowy climate. The Silver is awesome. I don't have any scratches yet... but even with the snow and salt, it takes a lot to make it look dirty. My wife has an 07 in that deep purple color... hers shows dirt almost after just washing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks - I am definitely leaning toward the Silver Vapor at this point. I think I will just have to see it in person to seal the deal!
