focus05 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 I believe that both vehicles are receiving some upgrades for 2009 and then reskins for 2010 set to debut in early 2009, I think. I've heard rumblings that the MKX will go to Lincoln's 3.7. Both are possibilities for hybrids in CY2010. The Edge's biggest competitor next year, however, may actually be the Flex. Many shoppers considering CUVs will not cross-shop domestic/import. They will pick the one they want and go for it or shop Toyo/Honda/Nissan only. However, the Flex will be on the lot with the Edge, and for families, it might be too tempting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Yeah it looks exactly like the Edge inside and out. Follow the link below and use the photo comparison. http://autos.msn.com/research/compare/compare.aspx The MKX only looks like the Edge from the side profile. Front, rear and interiors are unique. You need to get your eyes checked. The MKX interior is one of the biggest reasons to upgrade from the Edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Its everything like the Edge inside. Instrumentation is blue, there is some wood, and switchgear is painted silver. So why pay a premium over the its Ford sister. A trolling we will go, a trolling we will go............hi ho the merry O a trolling we will go...............

RichardJensen Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 We do not say his name out loud. The German word for bear is 'bruin', which is also German for 'brown'. It comes from a very ancient belief in the mystical powers of words. The Germans would not call the bear by its name, for fear of summoning it.

RichardJensen Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 That and he's terminally depressed because Britney Spears is being held on a 5150.... :P Is she really? Just checked, and she sure is. I guess missing out on important nuggets like this is what happens when you only do worthwhile stuff on the internet. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to get back to trolling on the MySpace pages of people I don't like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmc523 Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 personally I think competition is great...keeps Ford on its toes .....unlike a few years ago when they got complacent when they thought they were King ( Explorer anyone? )..... I wish Ford could take the system they use for F-series and it's dominance of the market (b/c it's so good, since Ford listens to customers and gives them features they want), and replicate it in the car market. It appears they're doing a good job w/ the crossover market (the next flock to SUV type craze, except to CUVs). A stronger car lineup would only benefit the crossovers as well, since they're based on the car platforms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
