Because you couldn’t get enough of Hammerhead says last time I have returned to hear your questions, and today you ask:

HammerheadFistpunch. What do you think of the New Edge ST?

Its a sport package on an old midsized crossover.

Wait, is that it?

Yeah, pretty much

What about the sullying of the ST name?

What you mean the one that also stands for Sanitary Towel? As far as I can figure out they are finally using this name right.

But...the other ST?!

Yeah I guess they could have just kept it as edge sport, or edge GT or edge SVR or any number of qualifiers.

BUT IM ANGRY, should I sell my ST out of digust?!

*sniggers* sure. Go for it, knock yourself out. That’ll show em.

Fine! Then what do you think they should have done?

Added 100 more hp and huge black spoiler...and maybe some mag wheels, yeah that would have been sweet.

Seriously?

Yeah, why not? if you are competing in the hot not-a-minivan space you better bring your “A” game.

But im still mad at Ford.

Thats not a question.

I agree with this.

Also, some people thought I was serious when I said I would sell my ST? I guess I should have added “/s” at the end

Here’s my hot take: They should have made a Fusion Wagon ST.

Don’t they need to make a fusion wagon first?

I’m sure they do in Europe....

So after confirming they do indeed make a Mondeo Estate I played around on the UK ford site and configured a Mondeo Estate ST with a Diesel and 6 spd.... Ford hates us.

the commercial thing they put pout for it is dumb. Ford GT - hell yea awesome car, Raptor -tons of fun would love to have one, Mustang - awesome, Edge - oh come on stop I can only get so hard, totally would take over any of those other high performance vehicles we just looked at, over there...... yea lets go back over there.
I mean if I was int he market for a crossover, its definitely at the top of the list, but it could have been so much more.

You know what I would do if Honda made a CR-V Si? I’d shrug and go on my way.

Confirmed:

AND they make a Fusion (Mondeo) ST!

that’s if the ST crowd want the same experience.

and front drive only, now we wait for the Edge RS to get AWD and a drift button.

yeah, that collins bit was pretty stilted. Then again, maybe the stig never spoke for a reason.

it seems pretty childish - I don’t want this toy I want the one she’s playing with.

I mean...its not taking the place of fords other high performance vehicles, right?

Well the FiST is going away right? I think they already have a new one in Europe, but there’s no plan to bring it to the US? So it is sort of taking its place.

I haven’t seen this place collectively worked up about something to this level since the election. And unlike this, that was actually justifiable.

We get our new FiST this year.

Presently we have the Fiesta ST-Line which is a ST dressed Fiesta Zetec or Fiesta B&O.

Of the line up, once the ST comes out, there will just be the Active to come.

Thanks for the info. I’m pretty sure what I’ve heard in the US is that we won’t get the new Fiesta (which I guess saves Ford the trouble of trying to package it into a sedan for terrible American tastes), and that its spot in the lineup will be roughly filled by the EcoSport compact CUV, which is already well suited for terrible American tastes. But hey, maybe there will be an EcoSport ST!

Ye’, I recall ford saying it wasn’t cost effective to bring a new Fiesta to the U.S. based on it’s projected sales with the number of small car sales in the decline.

Literally just went over this with some one on the from page as he questioned why the Lightning and Raptor as performance models and that is sullied the SVT name. Look I’m not a Ford person at all but I respect what they do and their importance to the Automotive world. They just lost some of that.

But that is actual performance. The Raptor is a trophy truck from the factory and the Lightning is similar to what the 454 SS and SRT-10 Ram were, a big or HO motors stuffed into a regular cab. Though Ford went steps above by having Jackie Stewart mess with the suspension of the 9th gen Lightning. They also took special heads from the GT40 to improve air flow.  

With the Edge, they just tuned a truck 2.7L for premium, put some fancy badging crap on it and shipped it. Where is the GT derived heads? Has Scott Pruett even driven an Edge? No, but it has 21" rims!! Makes sense now...

I am setting up a distance learning studio in my shed for the fall. What color, and what sheen level, should I paint the wall that will be behind me?
