I was thinking of replacing our edge withe the escape but after seeing them in person I think I will wait for the MKC. The escape looks narrow

In cities like Boston I bet you would see the cmax as abetter choice

To compare apples to apples you should add the Golf and Jetta togther, they are equal to the Focus Hatch and Sedan combo. Still, it would interesting to see hatchbach vs sedan broken out for the Focus to apprciate whether hatches are catching on in the US.

If Toyota isn't doing it, CR doesn't like it or think it is worth doing

I think he means in Australia

The deal has been signed http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/01/28/us-daimer-ford-nissan-idUSBRE90R0CO20130128 "Three global carmakers joined forces on Monday to develop a line of affordable fuel cell cars for sale starting in 2017 in what could be the first major advance for the promising zero-emission technology"

We will be looking to replace the Edge in a year or so and was interested in getting something that could still haul the boats but get better gas milage than the Edge (not bad, but still with only one person commuting to work an extra 5 mpg would be great). This would fit the bill I believe with the assumption that they use the same or better mill as in the upper level Escape and a tow package . IF this translates into the actual production model, I wonder what the new MXK will look like. Just a bigger version or will it go in different direction?

Depending on towing capacity I could see this as my edge replacement

What about Fusion? No suppy

A lot of cars are bought by new car dealers than sold as used cars at a heavy discount, this practice is used by a lot auto of companies in Germany http://www.businessweek.com/news/2012-08-15/bmw-s-phantom-sales-in-germany-show-debt-crisis-contagion

Funny Comments from Autoblog readers were almost all positive, homely but practical. "It ain't a looker, but the Ford Transit Connect Wagon is more functional than a Gobot and has returned the word "mini" to The Blue Oval's van selection" http://www.autoblog.com/2012/11/29/2014-ford-transit-connect-wagon-la-2012/ Does anyone no yet what kind of towing rating it will have?

or Territory or a Commodore, maybe even that new Chevy police car From Reuters "The closure of Australia's Autodom Ltd (AIE.AX), a top Australian auto parts supplier, could shut down production at local units of Ford and General Motors by next week and executives are working frantically to save the company." http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/11/02/us-australia-carparts-closure-idUSBRE8A105H20121102 JPD care to weigh in?

Seems to do OK here in Massachusetts, I see more Flexs than Expeditions, Sequoias and other larger SUVs. I always liked the looks of the Flex and if I needed a vehicle with that capability, I would get it in a minute. As it is, my wife complains that she feels ridiculous driving to work by herself in the Edge. Next vehicle will be a Escape withe the tow package.

I know the Edge V6 with the tow package can haul the boat, I already have that, what you can't get is the Ecoboost Edge with the tow package. I had 2001 escape that hauled the boat fine, and the new escape with eb 2.0 Liter has the same tow rating with the towing package. For me the Escape may make more sense.

That may be true, but was is the towing capacity of the ecoboost edge, does it even come with a tow package. The only reason I have a need for a vehicle like this is to tow my 19" Eastern to Maine and back once a year (spring/fall).

It looks to me as if the transition from 2012 to 2013 for the Fusion cost at least 10,000 unit., It will take some time to build up inventory but I believe the new Fusion will only help in the future. I am wondering if the the new Escape to taking some sales from the Edge. In all likelyhood the a ew Escape will replace our Edge it a year or two. Better MPG and still can haul 3500 lbs.

Considering how poor sales of the Mazda 2 in the N America market have been, the volume must be needed for C and S America

Amount 50000 Australian Dollar to US Dollar = 51,501.50 USD

Actually it Android that may be peaking http://tech.fortune.cnn.com/2012/06/11/google-android/ "But it's starting to look like Android's growth may be stalling, just as Google (GOOG) is facing new challenges in mobile from longtime rivals Apple (AAPL) and Facebook (FB). Recent reports suggest the prospect of Android's growth peaking. First, Asymco's Horace Dediu noted that Android's net user gains had slowed for four straight months and that user growth in April was as slow as its been since 2009."

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/07/13/phantom_eye_rollout/ "To be specific, the Phantom Eye uses 2.3 litre four-cylinder engines of a type normally found in some models of petrol-burning Ford Fusion, turbocharged and tweaked so as to run on hydrogen at 65,000 feet." No, it is the Fusion engine

I don't know about the rest of you but this topic should be moved as this is not a Ford specific, This is just some angry man spreading and his rambling non-sense.

There are two times I am glad i have an automatic, when pulling my boat (twice a year ( once up, once back) or sitting in traffic, otherwise i would prefer manaual. that being said for those sitting trafffic, an automatic is a blessing.

Ford Transit in the US will come with a diesel, which one will it be, I doubt it will be the new powerstroke http://www.autoblog.com/2012/03/28/diesel-returning-to-full-size-ford-vans/

Take that Camaro http://money.cnn.com/video/pf/2012/03/26/pf-w-shelby-mustang-1000.fortune/?iid=HP_LN

Is it just me or are they calling it a Freestyle, that what it looks loke on the rear hatch
