Suddenly out of the blue (heh), Ford’s director of Comms has started tweets about the Ford Edge?

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

UPDATE:

They just gave one to some fuckin guy for free....because he mows lawns? I dunno, they missed an opportunity to relaunch their mower line of business IMO

Maybe they finally looked at their lineup and realized they also had no idea why the Edge exists.

Surely that is going to steal sales away from the Bronco Sport to some extent.  Crossovers are cars now and the Edge is the new Ford Focus, so an RS makes sense (especially since they have an ST already)

Christ that is a lot of blobs.

In my experience, the Edge Sport and ST exist to allow middle aged dads to drive like dicks in the family car and pretend they have a sports car despite the fact they never learned to drive manual.

No, it still exists as the Dodge Journey of Ford. Perpetually hanging around, collecting the buyers that don’t seem to fit (phyisically/financially) in a better car.

The only way to make an Edge ‘cool’ would be to trade it in on a V8 Mustang.

“Cool....you traded that thing in for a Mustang!”

Super Cool? Not sure the McLaren dealer would take the trade.

(edit: I was wrong....they gave one away to some guy....that’s pretty cool!!!)

*apologies to all of you that are driving on the cool, cutting Edge.

Yeah and this doesn’t count the hybrid and “sport” blobs that somehow deserve their own sections on the website...

So you could say Ford has lost their Edge.

I love how the ST is literally just the old Sport trim but with more uncomfortable seats. I’m still salty I bought both the Fiesta and Focus STs only for them to say, with a straight face, that the Edge Sport is in the same family. I feel bad cause the salesguy at the Ford dealership I worked with was really good, but....yeah I’m not getting another Ford.

Funny enough the Bronco sport (at least in chibi thumbnail view) looks a lot like a 1st gen Escape to me now that you make me look.

It’s a bit crowded, unless they have some kind of following and the numbers keep it there. I don’t understand those people.

Would be nice to have Ford mowers again. I read that the lawn mower industry is very low profit, so probably never again :\
