Thanks for the insights. I hadn't realized the more subtle differences between the two packages, especially the adaptive cruise control. Although expensive, this seems like a potential life-saver for long drives, assuming it works as advertised.
I am very close to buying a new 2011 AWD Edge, but not sure to choose between the Sport or the Limited .. I like the black grille on the Sport along with the more powerful engine and better handling. Not entirely sold on the wheels- are they cool or too much bling? : ) The Motor Trend review was positive but that it was extra heavy and a bit slow and that the braking was sub-par.
Any thoughts from owners in comparison between the Limited and Sport models?
