wilsons66604 Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 (edited) I'm on the EDGE of my seat waiting for this delivery. Here's a link to a google map that I'm trying to pass my time with. I've drawn the Rail Route in a dim blue. I'll un-dim the route as I get reports from cyberdman My Dealership :-(. Rail ride ends in Kansas City and then my new ride hops on a convoy to Topeka dealer Link to My Google Delivery Map Edited September 15, 2010 by wilsons66604 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakleeman Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 I'm in Wichita, KS, and I looked online (fordvehicles.com) for cars being delivered to dealerships around here (I didn't pre-order one). I found one of only 2 black Edge Limiteds in the Midwest about an hour away from me, so I went and bought it last weekend. It has the dark brown Sienna interior, and it looks great (especially with the wood trim). A friend of mine recently bought a 2011 BMW X5 and the interiors of our 2 vehicles look remarkably similar -- except that I have a superior electronics/display, a huge panoramic vista roof and possibly better Sony sound. Just this evening I was listening to Pandora (music over the internet from my phone -- connected via bluetooth). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jschonheiter Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 I ordered my Silver MKX back on August 14th, I am waiting to hear back from the dealer in Edmonton, Alberta. Just wondering if anyone has received their MKX in that region. I was going to order mine from Waterloo in Edmonton, but decided to order from a dealer a little closer to Lloydminster, Alberta. I ordered mine July 23, and have my VIN, but nothing showing in the system yet. Dealer is telling me that it is supposed to be built the week of 9/27. We will see! Dealers in Edmonton are apparently getting some stock orders in but I haven't heard of any customer orders arriving yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 Well you are an "interior designer" that I would never hire. Not that I would hire one. You're saying you can't tell the difference between a Veneer and real wood? Sheesh! You obviously don't know wood. Veneer is real wood. It's just a thin layer on top of cheaper, more stable wood or other material. Veneer is usually stronger than a solid piece of wood and less likely to warp. You're talking about real wood versus fake wood. The real wood in most vehicles requires SO much varnish to protect it that it sometimes ends up looking more fake than the fake wood. With todays technology and the high varnish requirement it's easy to mistake real wood for fake and vice versa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revOevoM Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 My salesfriend called today around 9am. As of 7:30 this morning, the train with my new Edge was about 15 miles from its destination. The truck transport company said they have over 20 railcars to unload, so it will probably be late tomorrow (Friday) or Saturday before my car gets to the dealer. So it looks like I'll be able to take delivery on Monday or Tuesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far, the train has been averaging 4mph. That puts it in the dealership in about a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ctrl-z Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 I would like them to stop using wood of any real or fakeness - that was really the one down fall of the Edge - but it was across all lines. I like it typically makes a car look dated and old. I agree with you. It's a strange American-centric taste that prefers plastic wood, and wood veneer over modern materials. I know there's a lot of Asia manufactured vehicles that have attractive modern interiors for sale in the rest of the world while North America gets this stuff. Fake wood has become so prevalent that even vehicles with real wood (e.g. Lincoln) are unappealing to me. That was the main reason I went with the Limited package in the MKX I've ordered - it comes with "unique aluminium appliques". But I've only had a chance to look at that stuff through a window and it didn't really look all that great either. Oh well.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

choff1138 Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 It's too bad that fake carbon fiber wasn't an option I preferred the dash of the sport - the materials used on it. It really came down to the big tires of the sport or the wood of the limited. The wood didn't cost me more money in winter tires and the sport would have. If that is the only negative - great. And it isn't terrible just not my taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are some better pictures with the BAMR open and some natural light. And I threw in a shot of the adaptive cruise control too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks - it isn't too bad - I actually think the vertical of it is nice. Hadn't thought of that aspect of it, but it is cool. Hopefully only two more weeks. I think I can hold on to my sanity that long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revOevoM Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 Looks like next week will be fun for us revOevoM! Have you got your Kona Grill yet? The grille inserts were painted last week. Should be plenty dry by now. (I haven't seen 'em, though) Although my car made it to the depot, it's got a lot in front of it and a ways to go to the dealer. It won't get there till sometime Sunday. And because they have a bit of prep (remove and install grilles and check the alignment), it won't be until mid-late Monday that I could get it. So I've scheduled to go Tuesday and not have to rush through things... inspection, test drive, more inspection, paperwork, maybe one more test drive. Hope to have some pics soon after that.
