  1. I agree, they simply dropped Sport and added ST, I feel this was done since cars are phasing out of Ford and to "appease" the owners of vehicles that come in ST trims and entice them to stay Ford as they transition way from cars. With that said, I would have enjoyed to see more than just a badge swap, I don't care what any ST owner says, that is exactly what it was. As a Sport owner, when I saw Edge ST, my first thought was "this isbetter than my sport" then it came out and I was like...ohhh, it's the same vehicle and with the perfect timing of the refresh, it gave them perfect time to drop "sport"
  2. key word there, No Edge is exactly a premium vehicle.
  3. or just buy these which are made for 07-10 https://drivebright.com/shop/new-2007-10-ford-edge-led-tail-light-set-shadow-black-sport/
  4. if it was just a refreshed and carried "Sport" it wouldn't get any attention, just like the 2015 didn't get any real attention. So yeah, we wouldn't even be having this convo... adding ST to the trunk, made the Edge relevant, but for all the wrong reasons
  5. indeed, more sites=more advertisement possibilities for income
  6. I know...just the giant banner and the fact I was already on the other ST forum made me be like...wtf, we don't need info scattered all over the web, we need it centralized for ease of access
  7. I think your missing the main emphasis, Why would you want to go to 3 different sites, create 3 different accounts to view information on the same vehicle when you could just go to the page you have been going to for years? Then your also limited to just that trim level topics, here..you have the whole generation to view for information that is going to be the same other than powertrain. It's like being a mailman at an apartment complex, why go door to door for mail, when you can just put the mailboxes in one location.
  8. that's usually how life works, majority of the time (not all) nicer things cost more. Edge ST MSRP is priced perfect IMO compared to what else is on the market. Nice sweet spot, granted I also feel like it's built/quality/material is that of a 30k vehicle, but thats another story.
  9. you would have to swap trans too, though it probably be even easier/better to just drop in the 2.7TT and 6f55 trans
  10. We are only comparing performance though, in reality, there's no way you can even compare an Edge ST to any Porsche SUV as a whole experience. There's zero luxury inside the Edge Sport or ST as far as materials. I'm a realest, love my sport, but it's a mass marketed and built cheaply to provide maximum profit to it's manufacturer while still entertaining those who want a tad of performance in said vehicle type. Dealer experience, I'd say drastically different also. Shit just on my Audi it's a huge difference. Take my base A3 in for it's FREE service and walk out with a S5 Loaner for the day. Take my Edge in for warranty work, walk out with a base Focus. Edge has spent 7 months at the dealer since 2015. She still kicking though. Literally the only thing you can really compare the ST to is a Sport and well...that just upsets ST owners who think they have some hot new invention.
  11. Cayenne is larger, it's same as Audi Q7/VW Tourareg/Porsche Cayenne. 194ā€³ L x 78ā€³ W x 66-67ā€³ H Macan, 184-185ā€³ L x 76ā€³ W x 63-64ā€³ H is actualy closer to Edge 188ā€³ L x 76ā€³ W x 69ā€³ H, than it is Escape, 178ā€³ L x 75ā€³ W x 66ā€³ H
  12. I leave it on navigation so that it displays the speed limit.
  13. Ford Edge forum is the foundation, no need for a specific ST forum. That just means that ST owners have to view 2 different sites to see if something is happening to a sport (and vice versa) also or etc. Then we have Edge ST Forums, another ghost town. 3 sites, for 1 vehicle that has the aftermarket support of a ipod nano.
  14. if anyone is shopping for a Macan a Ford is not even crossing their mind, let alone maintaining a car with a warranty that they wont own outside of warranty cause they will just upgrade with the times. Plus the real price to maintain an Edge Sport at this rate is going to be really high with everyones issues while under warranty still continuing after they are supposedly fixed. My biggest complaint when I bought my Edge Sport in 2015, no factory BBK, rental fleet car exhaust note, didn't like lower valance and no sporty seats. and here in 2019 I still have the exact same complaints with the remodal. The Edge Sport/ST is literally in a class of it's own, it's half the price of a 4 Leaf Stelvio. I just feel like Ford could have done so much more to attract buyers other than marketing it as a super car contender. With that said, I had no clue the electronic exhaust sound was that bad. I think that is worst than the rear lower valance. Ford should be ashamed of that!
  15. It is supposed to happen, its a natural occurence. Its not supposed to form into a bath tub though.
  16. Thank you, they are all photoshopped, this was to show the wife what the Edge would look like with the SS-tuning fender flares/lip and Vossens
  17. Vossen HC-1 $2,000. per wheel $8,000. a set without tires
