Now you know, mystery solved

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

My take... you have to admit, it is kinda neat. 335/380 AWD CUV that doesn’t look half bad.

Soo....it’s a slightly hotter Edge Sport. Maybe with the refresh it’s replacing the Edge Sport?

Automakers making cars like this but not offering us more manual cars annoys me.

Haha I know. But I feel like the amount of people that would actually buy this is relative to the number of drivers who want more manual cars. Like someone already mentioned, who asked for this from Ford?

But... for a lot of us, the manual aspect is the only reason we really looked at ST’s.

No matter what year, or what model we found, we knew it was a manual. This kind of is diluting the water.

Agreed, I think this should’ve stayed as a “Sport” branded model not an ST. But Ford wanted to launch the new Edge with a splash, so here we are.

Instead, they’ve managed to inspire... uh... well... uh... apathy?

Woooo apathy!

I dunno, manual driving Fiesta enthusiasts make up a much smaller market share than CUV buyers who’re gonna take out an 84 month loan.

But I guarantee you that manual driving Fiesta enthusiasts are way more vocal about their vehicles.

You make a great point about the Sport trim though. I wouldn’t have batted an eye.

I’m a big fan of these new crossovers.

This and the Ascent, Nautilus, Atlas, etc.

There. I said it.

It’s the modern era, you don’t ask for things anymore lol...

algorithms just build us cars based on market research gained from our collective social media, all without asking anyone directly, because skynet.

I like it, except that super high front end. And 21" wheels - are those standard? I assume not....even the Macan Turbo rides 19's out of the box.

To be honest, I don’t know much about the (Ford) Edge.....the existing Sport model already had a 315/350 EcoBoost? Not bad.

But damn, that high front hood.
