Re: 2015 Ford Edge Revealed: Leaked Image!

I just hope the new Edge has been on a serious weight loss program, say at least 500 lbs.

Re: 2015 Ford Edge Revealed: Leaked Image!

It looks like a Sequioa for me. :)

Re: 2015 Ford Edge Revealed: Leaked Image!

Not sure why the Flex is still a Ford product. It should be modified and turned into a Lincoln sedan and crossover.

I prefer the Explorer design to the Edge, Flex, and Escape. Saying that, the front end could be improved by a few grill options. Honestly though, I think they should look elsewhere than the Edge...current or future.
I would prefer they use the next generation F-150 as inspiration, and give the customer a wide choice of grills as well.

I'm sure the next Explorer will be inspired by what the Edge is doing, I personally don't like the current Explorer front-end. In many ways, the Edge fascia here looks better suited to the Explorer than the Edge. The Escape might be treated differently when it gets its MCE probably by MY 2016.

As for other vehicles, the Flex will be discontinued probably with the 2016 MY, around the time the next-gen Explorer launches. There are rumors about a US-designed Ford minivan, but we also have the next-gen Edge/S-Max/Galaxy options on the table by that time. Somehow I doubt Ford will issue a dedicated NA minivan at this point, but if they do it will be a break for the Global-think permeating all new Ford products.

Re: 2015 Ford Edge Revealed: Leaked Image!

a Question
...esp for those who like this...
& sorta prompted by some thoughts in the F-100 thread
WHAT IF
they used some/all of this new style for a number of same-sausage-different-lengths CD4/CD4+3/CD4++ Cuvs
from Edge to Explorer to Flex and even/maybe a 'compact' 'pickup'?

personally so far I like styling of the Edge and Flex, originals + MCE's, much more than the Explorer (really Really liked the ExplorerAmerica concept)
so think I'm not the one to say...

Re: 2015 Ford Edge Revealed: Leaked Image!

I really like that the Edge looks more rugged and beefier this time, more like a classic/modern SUV like a Grand Cherokee.

Re: 2015 Ford Edge Revealed: Leaked Image!

This is a great looking CUV which should be a hit once again for Ford. I can't wait to see the new MKX!

Re: 2015 Ford Edge Revealed: Leaked Image!

I sat in the Edge yesterday at the Chicago Auto Show, along with the Escape and Explorer. I really expected it to have more room throughout than it did. I figured it would have the same room in the back seat as the Explorer but it felt no roomier than the Escape. The cargo area was a disappointment as well what with its slanted hatch, which stole away some space there. The front seat room was better, close to the Explorer, but the Escape didn't feel cramped in front either.

I agree. I like this because it looks like the current Taurus, but I was hoping we would see hints of the next generation Taurus. The styling will seem too familiar by the time this is released.
