Ford Reveals All-New 2015 Ford Edge | Edmunds.com
Ford revealed the new-generation 2015 Ford Edge midsize crossover today, and competitors are sure to be scrambling to match its almost outlandish level of available technology.

The Cherokee is certainly a competitor from a size perspective, but if you want even the pretense of off road ability you aren't test driving an Edge and nothing described in the article leads me to believe that has changed. The Edge competes more with the Euro SUV' than with the Cherokee.
I'm not much of a Ford guy (and I still hate the MyFord Touch after my interactions in recent rental) but I do think this is a good looking vehicle.
Thought I was looking at the Hyundai Santa Fe at first.
Nice update. It has the blockier styling of Ford trucks rather than the oval elements all ford cars have gone to. And the lights look really fresh. Wish the push-button trans of the MKZ would catch on. That shifter is using up some prime real estate.
Why does it look like a Hyundai?
The front really does look a lot like the Sante Fe, and that is probably the worst thing about the design, looks-wise. No more rake to the back window though guys, look at an Aztec if you're not sure why. Overall, it's a solid design. I see a lot of Lexus in the profile. I can't tell if the dash still sits below where the base of the windshield sits. I always thought that made the first generation feel needlessly bulky and awkward. The base of the a-pillar still looks like a gigantic blind spot though.
The Fat Boy's Santa Fe!
Ford! Just give us a USA version of that new Brazilian Troller T4 and call it a Bronco. I would be an instant Ford fan! Enough of these girly family SUV/CUV's! Give us something more like the original Bronco!
Ford???? What is it with You Guys (copying other Make and Model features; NO Originality) and these "Strange Color" combinations??!! Did someone spike the Water Cooler with drugs??!!
I wonder if the MKX will stay on this platform or move to the Explorer platform.
This vehicle doesn't need to be an off-roader. Ten to 15 years ago, when seemingly everyone was buying SUVs, fewer than 5% were ever driven further off road than the gravel parking lot at the roadside fruit stand. This is the kind of vehicle people actually wanted all along: Something that more closely resembles a brawny SUV than a soccer mom minivan and handles much more like a tall car than a light truck.
How about a diesel option for the SUV?
