rmc523 Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I'm curious what is going on with the C pillar in this shot. You can see that a possible klink has evolved? Yes, the beltline appears to kick up after the rear door before reaching the normal window line of the rear-most piece of glass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 (edited) LOL! Did i do that? After years of lurking on this site, i don't think i could of picked a better first post than that!Anyways, if you want to find some clues as to when the new Edge might be going into production, look to this CAW PDF. http://www.caw.ca/assets/images/34898_CAW-Ford_Report-Updated_0925.pdf It says the CD4.2 platform (i.e. Edge) will launch in 2014. Well done indeed. I look at Corporate.Ford regularly but not the Investor ppt's. I see way too much of that at work Good eye! Did you notice the Nano head work to start?

2b2 Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I wonder if at some point we will see new Lincolns debut before their platform-mate Ford vehicles? could happen sooner but per an online document the CD4 MKZ is/was scheduled for Q3 2017 a full year before the CD4 Fusion of Q3 2018 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going to speculate that since Nano is going to CAW represented plant, I dub Nano the 'new' Windsor motor in honor of the most famous Windsor of 'em all the 351 Windsor V8. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike_in_va Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Just curious. If it's so close to launch how come we haven't seen spy photos of mules running around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silvrsvt Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Just curious. If it's so close to launch how come we haven't seen spy photos of mules running around? There are....there is a shot of an S-Max or Galaxie with a bolted on hood that could be a proof of concept for the Edge...I can't find the photos, but they where posted here in the past 3-4 months 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoonerLS Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Now, should we read much into slide 61? Slide 61 is the Lincoln section slide. Looking at the Sidney Opera House? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Just curious. If it's so close to launch how come we haven't seen spy photos of mules running around? I just googled 2015 Edge and the news showed images of a S-Max in Detroit as a possible mule. No camo of this design. BTW for you Richard, I think 'that guy' is using your name on LLN trashing the Edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardJensen Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Yes. Really. Thanks for the heads up. What is baffling/amusing, is that he created a DISQUS account with my name on it.

jpd80 Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I am going to speculate that since Nano is going to CAW represented plant, I dub Nano the 'new' Windsor motor in honor of the most famous Windsor of 'em all the 351 Windsor V8. In the UAW agreement, Lima engine plant is indicated as the location of a small V6... Lima Engine Plant The popular Duratec 3.5/3.7L V6 continues and a new industry leading small V6 will be added to the plant at an investment of $400M.

uglymugs Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Timeline for production. Retooling is ongoing in a vacant area of OAC. Major retooling scheduled for an extended christmas break this year. MKX production is to be quite far(6months approx) behind EDGE due to sheetmetal and styling differences. So edge production to start in early spring 2014 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So edge production to start in early spring 2014 Lincoln can't routinely discontinue products for extended periods of time like that and hope to survive. If this is how they are doing business, they need their own factory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
