Ford NAIAS ST?

[5.Oh Crush]

It's a waste of money to even bother with the Edge, it's sales pale in comparison to the Escape. If they want to do a sporty SUV that actually sells, the Escape would make much more sense. Throw the 2.7L EB motor in it, sportier suspension and styling and call it a day. Or even just transplant the Focus ST parts into the Escape if they really want to phone it in. Either would sell way more than an Edge ST.

I disagree. I have owned both vehicles. I currently have the 2.0 Escape. The edge is much more built for ST performance. Jeep and dodge have put Hemi's in there big SUV's. Gotta compete with them.

The Edge already has the Sport model though and I had one for a week. It drove great, plenty of punch already. Maybe they're just renaming the Sport model the ST and giving it a refresh?

I doubt it's a crossover or SUV. There isn't really a market for that outside luxury brand or heavy offroader. Big engine (or at least powerful engine) in an SUV? Sure. ST is about more than just forward go though.

Could be the next Focus ST?

Probably not, there's a line going through where the badge sits in the picture.

Here's the Edge.

It's an Edge ST! Interesting to say the least...

PERFORMANCE BLUE

Dodge: Let's release a mini-series of videos, building up to the Demon. A badass drag car.

Chevy: Let's release a video of our newest performance vehicle running at Nurburgring, then announce a literal fire breathing 750 HP Corvette.

Ford: Hi Here's an SUV It's pretty cool! Get ready for the new Bullitt!

Ford is very close to losing a lifelong customer.

That performance blue is nice!

It does look good (for what it is). I can see some housewives getting excited about it.

I like it, I mean yes it's an edge, but really, if you are looking for a Ford year round daily with some performance, what would you get? Explorer sports are 50k, SRT jeep/durangos are north of 60.... The front is an interesting combo of GT350/18GT/ST.

The 16 edge sport front end is more aggressive.

I really like my 16 Edge Sport. While I'm looking forward to driving the new Edge ST it seems like more of a Sport to ST name swap than a real Ford Performance offering. I hope this isn't the start of watering down the Ford Performance brand as I would have expected them to target a Porsche Cayenne GTS. Only a 20HP bump? C'Mon Man!
