2007fordedge_2

Ford just announced pricing for the all-new Edge crossover this afternoon right here in the Chicago area. Our man Kelsey Mays is on the scene checking out this vitally important model for Ford and will report more on that later today. For now we can tell you the front-wheel-drive Edge SE will start at $25,995 and the all-wheel-drive model will start at $27,645. All prices include destination charges. All Edge models feature Ford’s new 3.5-liter V-6 that produces 265 hp and 250 pounds-feet of torque.

Standard features include an electronic stability system with rollover mitigation, antilock brakes and front and rear side-curtain airbags. The price seems on track with others in the segment, though Mazda’s CX-7 starts for almost $2,000 less.

I wonder what has happned to the Ford designers. They seen not to have a mind of their own and want to copy others designs.

If you look at the Edge from the right angle, it kinda looks a lot like a lifted up 1st generation Taurus with a bobbed trunk.

Like Mazda6 and Ford Fusion, the car will also handle a 3.5-liter V-6 engine with best-in-class 265 horsepower mated to a six-speed automatic transmission so this car is exciting after all.
