I've been to one of the yards they get shipped to over in MI....Not that it's a big deal, but you're really missing the point ... your post in response to mine started with "huh?" suggesting you didn't agree, which in turn prompted sparky's post.

The point being this: think of the geography of the U.S. and think where the biggest car markets are there (ie: CA) ... and although some U.S. bound Edge will naturally go by truck, the majority go by rail (which is what I said) ... and so on that basis I suggested that the rail strike should have received more than a passing last-paragraph mention in an article about Edge being slow to arrive at U.S. dealerships.
If you're questioning my assessment about the article - fine, but if you're suggesting that the majority of Edge bound for the U.S. don't go by rail - well, you're wrong.
