punch-card Report post Posted June 18, 2015 I saw this data on another tread of the 2015 Edge. I figured I would post it for the 2016 Edge. http://donlen.com/buildstart-canadian-trucks-ford.aspx I will be waiting (somewhat impatiently ) to place a 2016 on order with both adaptive cruise control and sync 3 (with Android Auto).... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cv27 Report post Posted June 19, 2015 Where did you hear that Android Auto would replace the announced QNX? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
punch-card Report post Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) Just some clarification to your post, Android Auto does not replace QNX, it is an app for QNX. Some of the earlier internet news articles like, http://www.androidcentral.com/ford-cto-details-plans-close-integration-between-android-auto-and-sync, But in my search today it looks like the most current articles http://www.digitaltrends.com/cars/ford-announces-all-new-sync-3-system-pictures-specs/ reflect that it not released for Escape and Fiesta, but it would be later this year. But my guess is based on the first article I would think it would be released like later this year when, let say maybe the new Edge comes out? Then comes WAZE integrated with AA..... That would be one sweet pair. Edited June 19, 2015 by punch-card 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blitz118 Report post Posted June 20, 2015 (edited) I hope they don't change the initial order date too much. When you place an order from the dealer do they require a deposit? I've never ordered a car from the factory, and I want to be prepared. It's going to be a long wait for the 2016s. Edited June 20, 2015 by blitz118 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaliBoss Report post Posted June 20, 2015 Speaking from personal experience. When I ordered my '13 Boss 302 I put down a $10K deposit. This was most likely more than required but I was also securing an early build slot that was allotted to the dealer. The Boss' have a sequential number (on the intake), I wanted to ensure a low ##. I ended up getting #0324. Looks like the '16s are going to be fashionably late to the party, but well worth the wait I'm sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cab2g Report post Posted June 21, 2015 I've ordered from the factory twice, and both times I put $250 down. I was really hoping to have the 2016 Edge by Christmas this year. I was going to surprise my wife, but I guess that won't be happening! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmmick Report post Posted July 20, 2015 Have not heard anything here as far as a pre-job 1 order timeline. I am hoping that I will be able to hop onto that train like I did for the 2015 edge. If I cannot, then I guess I will hope and pray to have a ticket for the new Continental pre-job 1 build....that is going to be a home run for Lincoln...watch and see. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lskarha Report post Posted July 21, 2015 We placed our 2015 Edge with Adaptive Cruise in early June. But Adaptive Cruise is not available until September. We are coming out of a 2013 Edge lease in October. How do you think the timing will work? Will they be able to build the 2015 with AAC in Sept? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crchet Report post Posted August 7, 2015 Do you really think Ford will have the problem with the adaptive cruise worked out in time for the 2016's Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
punch-card Report post Posted August 7, 2015 I thought I read that another ford vehicle had it working, but I could be wrong. Regardless, if 2016 production does not begin until the middle of November, I would hope so. Also there has got to be a lot of people that have there orders on hold waiting for it. That be more egg on the face, if it fell through.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
omar302 Report post Posted August 7, 2015 This is only my guess,since Ford now has Adaptive cruise with emergency braking actual braking, not only one-charging) on the Euro Mondeo (Fusion), they might be waiting to bring it directly to the Edge instead of the older system.

lskarha Report post Posted August 7, 2015 Wait a sec. What problem are you guys referring to? I have Adaptive Cruise on our 2013 Edge. I will never own a car without it. Set the cruise speed and just steer. I am have never had any problems and it has worked flawlessly for the past two years. I would assume the 2016 would be the same. -Lee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Further to my post, I just read on the 2016 MKX's "build & price", and it is available with the "Drivers Assistance Package" that includes: • Adaptive Cruise Control • Lane-Keeping System, which includes: • Lane-Keeping Alert • Lane-Keeping Aid • Driver Alert System • Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian Detection, which includes: • Collision Warning • Brake Support • Active Braking Also searching for inventory, there is already one for sale that has this package. So it seems that it'll start showing up on the Edge. http://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/detail/643373381/overview/ Edited August 7, 2015 by omar302 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blitz118 Report post Posted August 9, 2015 I test drove a MKX yesterday, and it did have the Pre-Collision Assist package. What are your impressions of the MKX? What equipment group was it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
punch-card Report post Posted August 10, 2015 (edited) What are your impressions of the MKX? What equipment group was it? PROsShifterless console, button shifter. I like the concept, because when do you really need the shifter.... when you stop and when you backup, and that for most people is maybe 5% at most of the drive time.... and it frees up space in the drivers area. Audio quality with Revel (non-Ultima) is pretty nice, the sad part about it, it would probably be nicer than the sound system that I have at home. Features that are in the Reserved level, like greeting lighting, instead of just light all the led/lights at once that gradually come on. Neat feature, and probably unique in it's class, but I am sure other high end vehicle might do similar features. Ride quality - the CCD (Continuously controlled damping) is pretty neat that you really can feel difference from the comfort to sport modes. 3600 camera, it was nice to see this feature not only front and back but on the sides of the vehicle. I liked the feature that is in the 15 Murano. But I think Fords front camera I think is a better design. Folding mirrors, a nice feature to have. CONsCenter console much higher and reduces leg room lower gas mileage, I think I could be just a happy with the 2.0L like in the edge Pricey option for the LED headlamps, you have to order the luxury package that includes the LED headlamps and the Revel Ultima audio $4.4K OUCH Overall high price, about $10K if you compare it to a fully loaded Titanium Edge, but you do get quite a few options for the $10K, so maybe it worth it...... Oh yea your paying for the cachet.... I am sure there are other things that I have forgotten about since my drive on Saturday, But the really decision maker for me, will the MKX have Sync 3 in Job 2, and when will it happen???? My guess is it would be the same time as the 2016 Edge comes out, since I come from the same factory, and I am sure under the covers the vehicles are more alike than not. And do I really need to drop another $10K and will the buy me any long term value (resale). My two cents, Mike Edited August 10, 2015 by punch-card 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
All Hat No Cattle Report post Posted August 11, 2015 My local dealer has two 2016 MKX models in, one for test drives and one in the showroom. My wife drove it today, and was impressed. Neither one was for actual sale, even though they have window stickers on them. They were actual production models. The dealer said they expect the first units for sale to arrive in 2-3 weeks. Also, the dealer said that they were Sync 3, and the screen did look somewhat different from my current Sync 2, but I forgot to double check it because Sync is not a big deal for my wife. The pic is of the invoice they gave me today for a high-end one they have on order. I have an X-Plan pin (Ford stockholder). http://findlaylincolnofhenderson.com/Las-Vegas/For-Sale/New/?PageSize=10&Model=MKX Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On the 2016 MKX sticker it is listed as: Sync w/My Lincoln Touch On the 2016 MKC sticker it is simply listed as: Sync3 Pretty sure any 2016 MKXs we see anytime soon will have MFT not Sync3.

punch-card Report post Posted September 4, 2015 Arrrggggg.....Yet another delay in startup..... At this rate it will be Easter before I would see a 2016. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alzakx Report post Posted September 6, 2015 Howdy, The Ford dealership down here in Costa Rica said they'll have a 2016 demo unit for display in about two or three weeks. Makes sense since initial order acceptance begins on the 14th. But I really doubt it's a 2016, I bet they'll bring a 2015. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
luvford Report post Posted September 9, 2015 I ordered a 2011 Edge May 5, 2010. I took delivery of it Sept 11, 2010. The original production start date was july 1, if I remember correctly the first car came off the line july 20. Mine was built August 17. I only put down $250 deposit. All cost were negotiated up front. I was able to get my window sticker once my car was scheduled for production and knew the vin so I could track the train all the way to the depot. It was excruitiating to wait and exciting all at the same time! Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alzakx Report post Posted September 15, 2015 So are they taking 2016 orders now? According to this Dolen screenshot they began taking 2016 order on the 14th. Can someone confirm? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
punch-card Report post Posted September 16, 2015 I would suggest talking to a dealer, the "Donlen" website is for fleet sales, so it could vary. Personally, I am going to wait till mid to late October, if production startup is not until December now. My2c Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
