I know that alllllll to well lol.

It’s possible.

Edge is/was a great product that if they had redesigned it and made it a hybrid it would still be selling well. If they bring it back in a new body that’s not that Chinese version good for Louisville or whatever plant gets it. How many other automakers cancelled there two row crossovers that were selling well?? You tell me. I get it they import the Nautilus, at first I’m like even the Nautilus they’re canning it makes no sense.

It would’ve been nice if they did that in the first place and not can us til 2026. I was baffled as to why Ford never offered a hybrid Edge/Nautilus all these years before those Chinese versions.  Ford changes plans so much that that’s not out of the realm of possibility. 

Edge was on cd4 (which was an expensive platform) and did not offer a hybrid or anything unique other than the ST version.   Nautilus has shown that a well executed high tech 2 row can be a passion product and generate good margins.  And it’s on C2 which has to be cheaper to produce and offers a ready built hybrid powertrain.

Honestly, if Ford could get away with making and selling even less vehicles, they would. I wonder if Edge L is in US as part of evaluation for another region, ie not North America

I can definitely see this being the case. GM and Ram seem to have better option packages that allow people to build desirable trucks at a (relatively speaking for the full-size market) decent price. Ford's option packages cause the MSRP to rise quickly. 

Well, no kidding. Not as many want a $500+/mo lease payment as you hoped, eh?     

Well you tell me A few years back, Ford admitted in an article that Edge cost ($19,000) roughly $25,000 less to make than a comparable Mach E   Anything that Ford is ready to throw under the bus is a commodity  but all the years that Edge sold at near Explorer prices was jam.  

What if they reimagine a product offering and give it a makeover so it's no longer a commodity product?
