Ford Edge
America's number-two automaker has seen limited success with its first car-based SUV, the Freestyle, but the company has high hopes for its new Edge, which is based on the same platform that supports the Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan and Lincoln Zephyr sedans."Edge underscores the bold, American design direction for all Ford vehicles going forward," says Ford's U.S. chief, Mark Fields. The prominent three-bar grill it shares with the Fusion will become a corporate trademark. And while many new SUVs still proclaim their off-road prowess, Ford has no illusions where the Edge will be used most. "Edge is not an off-road adventure vehicle, and it doesn't look like one," says Ford's lead designer, Peter Horbury. |
