It does look good (for what it is). I can see some housewives getting excited about it.
It looks great. It is pointless. The Sport trim was fine. It was an Edge with a bigger engine. Applying 'ST' to a CUV is just silly. No one's taking that thing to a track. This isn't a BMW or Merc where they'll have someone buy it as a silly play thing.

I'd have rather seen a Fusion ST, but least it's not an EcoSport ST.

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!
I am a big fan of the Edge, we had one a few years ago for the wife, and probably going to replace my Focus with an Edge. Fantastic vehicle. The sport is a great package for what it is, just gives the vehicle some life and looks damn good IMO.

This does seem to be just a name swap from Sport to ST though. All though seems like they did get a bit more aggressive with the brakes.

More aggressive suspension, brakes, 8 spd trans and more power. Apparently a sport mode that's really sporty mcsportyson.

If that really is the case I'm hoping they do the same with the Fusion Sport.

I like the edge but that's a lame video. No drifting, just understeering through a parking lot. So other than more power and torque, whats different than a Sport?

Ford just didnt need another wagon...
Until now.

I bet a cup of coffee (or a Manhattan) that Ford Design could execute a Mustang styled Flex w Turbo 6 AWD.
As a design exercise only of course, focused on various strategies of accomodating packaging constraints.

Keep your fingers crossed all. This is still possible...

YEAH James Hackett!
Hell yea, prolly rumor, but supposedly he said "Wagon everything. Crossover everything. Do it now please."
