We are on 8 hours when we should be on 12 hours 7 days a week for our product right now. Go into a dealer and ask for the lead time on ordering an Edge. Maybe by June if your lucky you would get it. Also, the US gets the ecoboost first. Bigger market. And they even delayed the ecoboost for the Explorer until later this year.

Wow, a nice problem to have (to a point) but once it starts costing Ford sales as people go elsewhere to get a car now that's gonna hurt.

Oh I figured Canada would get shafted, Ford seems to enjoy doing that, but oddly enough in some respects Ford is at least levelling the playing field somewhat.

Best example I can think of right now, the MKZ Hybrid model has no price premium over the gas engined model in the US and they kept the same policy in Canada. I really do like the MKZ design but the extra gas penalty always was a turn off. A hybrid model would solve that problem quite nicely...
