Ford pushes showroom debut of Edge to December

[FlipTrac_511]

Ford pushes showroom debut of Edge to December. Possibly as a result of lukewarm reviews thusfar. Not sure what production changes you can make in a month but what do I know? Anyhow, through the years I've learned to take reviews lightly because many of them aren't very subjective. Numbers don't lie, but a reviewers opinion I take with a grain of salt. But the power of a good review is undeniable. For Ford's sake I hope the public takes a good liking to it. I like the Edge but that's based on looks and some specs alone. Looking forward to checking it out at the L.A. auto show this month. Looking forward to the 07 Trac as well. Up to know I've yet to sit in one!



Anyhow, here's a link to one Edge review:

 

[Don Edwards]

Should I take a drive by the Oakville assembly site and see how many are sitting around in the yard?

Did the World really need another over-priced, over-hyped station wagon? :unsure:

 

[Wayne Fajkus]

I'm going to look at them. The 3.5 duratech with 265 HP is not a shabby deal at all. We may swap the wifes mariner for one at some point. If they come out with a blue on. They don't have a blue listed.

35k+ NO Thanks!

 

[Richard Kolb]

How about that 3.5 in a Ranger? Just think, Ranger SVT with a hopped up 3.5 v6.

 

[Gypsy me]

It's not worth 35k and for that price it could have looked alot more nicer.. and at that angle in the pic remiinds me of ....do I dare say....Grimlin ha ha ha....sorry that was the first thing that came to mind....AFTER ...it looks plain. Thumbs down Ford on Appearance.

Bring back the Concept Trac!

The Ford Edge looks like a response to the Chrysler Pacifica. If memory serves me correctly the AMC Eagle 4x4 wagon was the first with that overgrown stationwagon idea, and Chrysler Corp. bought out AMC Corp.

 

[Tom Schindler]

The Edge is to compete with the Nissan Morono and the Chrysler Pacifica. The reviews are very positive and the automotive world says Ford is going to kick the snot out of the competition.



On a side note, for those that read Consumer Reports as the gospel truth, the Fusion and Milan have exceeded the Camry and Accord in quality and reliability.

One car model is not going to save Ford. Even the new CEO says they are NOT competitive in the market place.

Putting one leg in your pants isn't going to get you dressed, but it is a start.

[Rodger Tellefson]

Hey Jeff, Is this what you are attempting to do with signature? I am not sure, but I think that you have to put the pic for the signature in "My Library" on the site server.

meh ... change the name plate to mazda and call it the cx-9 and they all gush all over it...



3 rows of seats - I don't want that - 3rd row sucks for whoever has to sit there and there like a foot wide of storage space left - I rented a pacifica once on a business trip and with all the seats up the storage space was pathetic.

 

[TomT]

Nice looking but way to expensive. I'll take my wife's new RAV4 over the Edge any day. Faster and better gas mileage.

Enjoy an Edge view..........

A3 with upgrade ECU anyday over the Edge.

That's also an MKX (same mechanics...whole different styling).
