Just about any automatic transmission equipped automobile will allow you to turn off the engine with the vehicle still in gear. Since an automatic transmission has a viscous coupling, it allows the driveline side of the transmission to move without the engine turning over. On a manual transmission, the link is physical, by way of the clutch plate, so that in order for the wheels to move while the engine is off, enough force will have to be applied to actually turn over the engine, not an easy thing to do. It is always a good idea to set the parking break to avoid these types of problems. I hope they were able to get your Ex back into shape

Could just simple wear of the tread change the character of a tire like the OP is having? Could something be structurally changing in the tires, possibly due to defect that could result in ride quality changes? I find it interesting that it is only affecting certain speed ranges. Please keep us posted as to what you find out

That is some amazing mileage! I wonder how much of an effect 17" vs. 20" wheels has on the Ex, if drivers of the base with 17" steels can do better than those with the 20's?

2013's have been open to order since January I think. Seen a few on the lots locally.

Unfortunately, that method does not work on the Edge. Tried it on my friend's 2012 Sport and all it did was make the liftgate close. Worth a try though!

Thanks for the offer, and I'll definitely take you up on it when (or if!) the time comes. My friend is still shopping, and trying to decide if he wants to dump his Infiniti now or later. He might test drive a black sport this weekend, so we'll see.

Cool, thanks NWS Alpine. I'll check out hidplanet as you suggested.

Thanks for the replies! So, NWS Alpine, if I understand you correctly, you are keeping the stock housings and going to remove the OEM optics (lenses and all) and replace them with the Lexus one? Are you going to have to mod the mounts for the optics? How would you make sure you have it all aimed correctly and if not, what would you do to get them aimed properly? Sorry about all of the questions, by I am very interested in your project. Hmmm, relay kit. Will have to do some research on that. This whole topic is new to me so I am climbing the learning curve as we speak! Thanks again for the info.

Hello all, After doing a number of searches on this forum and the internet in general, I have not found an answer to the following question: If someone were to purchase the HID headlight assemblies for an Edge Limited, could those be installed on a Edge Sport? Are there any wiring or fuse considerations? The reason I ask is I have a friend who is very interested in the Sport, but greatly prefers the HID lights. He would eat the cost of buying the headlight assemblies to get the bigger wheels, engine and look of the Sport. The HID's can be found for about $600 each side online for the whole assembly, but am not sure if it is okay to just buy the ballast and the new bulb/holder (saving a little money), or if the whole thing is necessary due to design differences. He prefers factory/OEM parts and is not interested in cutting/hacking/drilling to install aftermarket solutions. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks everyone.

Just a heads up, the 2012 Edges and MKXs are now on their respective websites.

Hey everybody. I was just wondering if anyone has come across the 2012 MKX Order Guide. Thanks.
