Thanks, gents! Yes, I suppose you'd call it an impulse buy. Although gas prices are dropping, they may not stay that way, and I'd been thinking off and on what might provide something better than the 21mpg I was getting with the Edge. Saw this on the showroom floor, pondered it for a half hour or so, talked with a salesguy, made the deal. Am guessing I left a few dollars on the table, but so be it. It was still nicely discounted and met my requirements and budget. Got 46.5mpg (or so the car tells me!) on the 15-mile drive home. Being an S, few bells and whistles, but the only ones I'll miss (Edge was a Limited) are the driver aids - rear camera and monitor, cross traffic warnings. I'll adapt!
