  1. Nice refresh -- new grille gives it a more refined look. The lower grille on the 2012-2014 had too much black plastic while exuding a "boy racer" image. Classier, toned down interior too. Hatchback looks better than the sedan though. IMO the "black pack" does not look good on the blue Focus sedan that almost every 'review website' is showing. It would look better in silver or white.
  2. My 2013 ingot silver Ford Edge SEL arrived on September 12 -- thanks Cyberdman for your help in tracking it!
  3. VIN 2FMDK3JC3DBA97524 Ingot Silver w/ black leather interior 204A and all-weather mats Thanks!
  4. Watch Tom Mutchler's YouTube reviews of the Ford Edge (One review, uploaded by Consumers Reports on Jan. 5, 2011, rates the Edge with the V-6; his other review covers the Edge w/ the 2.0 Ecoboost). Mutchler is CR's "human factors engineer." Aside from a sometimes "whiney" demeanor and needing a shave, Mutchler gives a pretty balanced pro-con view of the V-6 and 2.0 Ecoboost Edge. He is critical of MFT -- many reviewers are -- so DON'T GET IT if you're worried about it crashing every other day! The non-MFT Edge SEL covers a lot of bases and is a "simpler way to go," Mutchler notes in his (shorter) review of the Edge w/ Ecoboost. During his review of the Edge w/ the V-6, Mutchler mentions some wind noise and a "whiney V-6", but also says the Edge is "pleasant to drive" and at the end of his reviews calls it a "mid-pack" but "pretty good suv." AT NO POINT (in either review) does he say "avoid the Edge." CR and one of its engineers should reconcile their "ambivalent hypocrisy." BTW I test-drove a 2013 AWD Ford Edge SEL w/o MFT. It drove just fine, and 95% of the reviews I've read are impressed with Ford's crossover. Memo to Consumers Reports -- CR = Conflicting Recommendations Currently 2008 Ford Mustang V-Premium in Vapor Silver On order: 2013 Ford Edge SEL w/ 204A and Deluxe Floormats without MFT (Ingot Silver w/ black interior)
  5. Consumer Reports should be renamed Consumer Confusion. First they call the AWD V-6 Edge "jittery with pronounced road noise," then they say that the "Edge scores high enough to be recommended, but we don't yet have reliability data on the new engine" (Ecoboost 2.0 liter turbo) THEN in the Compare chart, check out how favorably the ratings are for the Edge with the Ecoboost 2.0 liter turbo. They even rank the Kia Sportage 3 points higher then the Edge -- despite the fact their "lows" for the Sportage are visibility, noise, ride, and complicated radio controls." Stick to rating coffee makers and lawn mowers, CR! That way you can perk, make noise, and move -- all at the same time. Vapor 6 Current ride: 2008 Ford Mustang V-6 in vapor silver On order: 2013 Ford Edge SEL in ingot silver
  6. What is the status of my 2008 Ford Mustang? VIN 1ZVHT80N185157942
