Im just asking because im planning to get the car by the end of the year, and i dont want the car to change soon.
btw the ecoboost 2.0 is coming out this summer or when?

thank

Answer
The Edge is undergoing quite a few major product changes for 2011 so i would consider it a 2nd generation.
Production dates are sketchy, but the latest information says that Ford will start producing them in July. I believe, based on my experience, Ford will release not them until they have "enough to go around" to the majority of the dealers.
The ecoboost engine will probably be "late availability" , but certainly out by the end of the year.

This is a comprehensive list of the Major product changes:

I expect that dealers will be able to start ordering inventory in May-June . but the vehicles probably wont be on the dealer lots until August-September... but that's just my educated guess.

why should i get the iPhone 4 when I can get the iPhone 3gs with iOS 4 for less?

kroe761

I want to get the iPhone, but what real advantage is the iPhone 4 when I can get the operating system that makes it cool on the new 3GS? I guess it has a better processor, sharper screen, and better camera, but if I don't really care about those, why not just get the 3GS? Thanks

Answer
The only reason I'm getting the iPhone 4 is because I've never owned an iPhone before, and the 4th generation is really setting a new standard. Apple releases a new iPhone once a year, and the technology on the iPhone 4 is going to keep growing and growing. The 3GS is nearly obsolete already, and I think the technology on the iPhone 4 will last a very long time. Think about 2011 when the iPhone 4GS comes out or something, the iPhone 3GS will be totally useless- whereas the iPhone 4 will still be new and have all of the new technology in it. Basically, buying the iPhone 4 gives you a kind of security for the years to come, I know that all of those features will work in the years to come. However, I don't see the 3GS lasting nearly as long. Hope this helps you! :-)
