1duFos Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 (edited) I think Ford made a mistake in the design of the Edge and MKX, I think they should have went to this styling que. See pics of what the new vehicles should have looked like. Love that vista roof... Edited August 28, 2010 by 1duFos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codyyfz Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 (edited) Apple Valley Ford in MN (where I have my Edge Sport on order) has a Tuxedo Black SEL in the showroom right now. I almost died when I walked in and saw it. Tried out MyFord Touch, checked out the interior, took a peek at the LED running lights. All very very refined and incredibly cool. I also noticed that the turn signal activation is all digital, the clicks are produced via a speaker, the stem doesn't actually lock down or up, and there's a lane-change half-pull that will flash the signal three times then stop. Here's some pics I grabbed. Edited August 28, 2010 by codyyfz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatentGuy Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 I will be picking up my '11 Edge Limited AWD in a few hours. I am very excited.

luvford Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 My dealer got 2 Edges in yesterday. A Tuxedo Black Limited and a Tuxedo Black SEL. So I went down there this morning to take the Limited for a spin. I almost passed out when I got there as they were unloading a Limited in Bordeaux Reserve Red Metallic. But it wasn't mine. I took the Black Limited for a spin. The ride was so smooth and quiet! They had just taken the My Ford Touch out of Transportation mode and it would recognize any voice commands. Hopefully thats an easy fix. I'm hoping to get mine soon! I can't wait! :hyper: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choff1138 Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 I am getting my Bordeaux red limited around the end of September. If you get back - take pictures of the one there. I still have not seen the color other than on a computer monitor. I hope I love it as much as I think I will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have not seen the color other than on a computer monitor. I hope I love it as much as I think I will. We looked at another 2001 Ford Car that was Tuxedo Black at the dealer so we would see what the Edge's black was like. Any chance of your dealer having the Bordeaux Red on another 2011 in their lot you could see. I believe that color will be beautiful but we went with black because I'm driving a bordeaux colored Volvo now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choff1138 Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 Nope - my dealer doesn't have anything in it yet - but I keep watching. I really liked the Kona Blue but that is really close to the color of our F150. Not much of a red girl, but tired of blue cars... I will love it I know.

I still have not seen the color other than on a computer monitor. I hope I love it as much as I think I will. I will definitely go take some pictures. It was raining today and the car was covered with all the protective stuff on the doors so it wouldn't have been a great picture. I ordered the Bordeaux Reserve red with sienna leather interior after seeing the colors online. I was hoping I would love it and I do! It's an awesome dark burgundy color and I'm sure it will be even better with the sun shining on it. Hopefully it will be sunny tomorrow and they'll have it all shined up and I'll get to take some pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choff1138 Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 I went with the black leather but the sienna looks nice too. My car will the first one my dealer gets, and the other dealer close to me says a month before they get theirs too - but they weren't sure what they were getting. There are still lots of the 2010's so probably waiting to order hoping to get rid of the old first. Sales spike here after the first snow fall so I would expect them to start showing up in October/November. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now they have 4 and mine is still not one of them. They still say it's the only one they've ordered and that all the ones that have come in are sent by Ford. Not sure I believe that but what can I do. My car was built and as of yesterday was at the ramp wait to be put on a train. It's getting closer!

That would, in fact, be illegal unless they're giving them away for free. They're yanking your chain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgilles Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 Just got an update that my order status as of 8/31/10 is "In production" Does anyone know how long they usually have this status for? Also my dealer said that they got an update saying that there is a shortage of some part for all of the 2011's that might delay the overall production of the 2011's. Has anyone else heard anything like this or know what part it is that is in short supply? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My car was built and as of yesterday was at the ramp wait to be put on a train. It's getting closer! akirby was correct! We sat with the fleet manager for the dealership and ordered my 2011 Edge. The fleet manager orders every car for the dealership. They get to select the colors and all the options...trying to pinpoint what would sell best at their specific dealership. No dealer gets "whatever Ford sends them". See if you can talk to your fleet manager. Mine says he gets a report every Thursday which shows all his vehicles and what stage of production or shipping they are in. We are working only with our fleet manager and maybe I'm just lucky but he is absolutely on the ball...I think he is as excited as I am (well, maybe not!).

thebrave Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 (edited) Hi All, Took delivery of my 2011 Edge this afternoon from Tom Boland Ford in Hannibal, MO. Originally a customer order dated April 1, this Edge was replaced with an identical dealer stock order as the factory rep. knew that order would be filled first. It is a Silver Limited AWD and looks exactly like the silver model in the 360 look on the Ford website. Spent about a half hour riding around, and sitting inside. Quieter ride than my 07 Edge. Haven't done any setup yet on the MyTouch. You can feel the extra 20 horses in the 30-40 MPH range during accelleration. Low end seems about like the older Edge, but smoother than the old transmission setup. That's it for now. Hope the nav and sync are easy to set up. More later.

Grey Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 At the beginning of each model year, the Ford field manager will encourage dealers to place their initial orders. The order guides have suggested configurations and many dealers will just order the suggested inventory to make sure they have something in the system. When a retail order comes along, it may be too late to prioritize the retail order ahead of the stock orders, so the stock units get built first. Many sales personnel don't know what has been ordered or where an order stands in the process so they repeat something they heard or believe about the processes that may be only half true. You kinda have to know the right questions to ask when you order if you want a better understanding of build and delivery timing for your vehicle - and only the dealership has all the answers (not the CRC.)
