Thanks for your input J-150! I just purchased an AWD Fusion in January and THAT is what got me looking at an Edge. The AWD system on the Fusion is 'top-notch' and am hoping for the same out of an Edge with the extra HP from the new 3.5 Duratec. I am going Friday to purchase the Edge and am hoping that between the purchase of the Edge and the Fusion that I can somehow help the Ford cause and not have 2 vehicles in my driveway that in a few years I will not be able to get parts for. Neither will be conquest sales as I have traded in an existing Ford product for both purchases. Believe it or not, some consumers appreciate the workers dedication and final product.
