2011 Edge

http://www.leftlanenews.com/ford-edge-2011.html

It is expected this new Edge, and the Lincoln MKX, will get the 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder motor Ford just announced earlier this week. Ford says the turbo four will be good for at least 230 horsepower and 240 lb-ft of torque. It remains possible that a version of Ford’s 3.5L EcoBoost V6 could also find its way under the hood of the 2011 Edge.

not looking so good to me judging from the headlights. they look lincoln-ish. and please for make the sport version of the edge something more than just a body kit and wheels. boost the HP on that 3.5 (naturally aspirated) or something please...shoehorn the ecoboost engine in it, just something! lol

Looks good but I can't help but think that the headlights are going to look similar to the Venza's (which IMO is pretty much an Edge wannabe)

Why do people say that Ford still uses cold hard plastic? Ive ridden in a new Lancer, a Tiguan, an Accord and their plastics are harder and lamer than in the Edge my parents test drove which actually didnt feel plasticky as those mentioned. To say that I felt I was on my dad's 00 f150 when it came to the plastic in those cars is descriptive enough.

I just wanted to put it out there

Looks like it will be getting a Taurus-esque nose.

The fenders will be more pronounced ( bulging) with shape instead of flat on sides. I have one setup at work on fixtures, But Im not gonna jeapordize mY Job..I could give descriptive details but that about it..
But I feel your really gonna enjoy it much more. Its more muscular looking..

I find the Unibrow chrome strip more offensive than the grille. If it were integral to the the grille like on the Fusion it would be fine, but as a separate piece it looks pretty bad.

Yep, LED driving lights are the new foglamps. Thanks, Audi:
