cab2g Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 thanks for the post! But I have some questions... just kidding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ono Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 Thanks! It looks like the Sport does get the acoustic front side glass. I read the explanation for the active noise canceling. I'm curious as to how effective it'll be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ls973800 Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 I wonder if the wheels will have the same bolt pattern and offset as the 2011-2014 Edges. I like some of the new wheels for the 2015 and wouldn't mind putting a set of them on my 2013. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 Based on cd4 so should be the same as 2013+ Fusion. Not sure if that's the same as current edge but should be easy to find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ls973800 Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 Thanks, I'll check and see what the Fusion specs are. Well, so much for that! Found this on a wheel shop resource page. The Edge uses the old 2012 Fusion bolt pattern. Not sure about the hub opening, but the new 2013 bolt pattern will not fit properly Ford has changed the wheel bolt pattern on the new 2013 Ford Fusion. Up through 2012 Ford Fusions were 5x4.5" or 5x114.3mm. The new bolt pattern is 5x4.25" or 5x108mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cv27 Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 (edited) Believe it or not, I do have a question Why is there still not any info on fuel economy? This forum is great for documentation, any type. Thanks Exodus and all the others that feed us. Edited November 8, 2014 by cv27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exodus Posted November 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 Because the EPA hasn't rated them yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goatee Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 What about the cargo cover. Will it be a nice new retractible type or the old rubber band and hook system that is still in my closet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omar302 Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 What about the cargo cover. Will it be a nice new retractible type or the old rubber band and hook system that is still in my closet? If you see the linked photo, on the left side of the cargo area above the storage compartment there seems to be a hook shaped slot that's looks to be where a retractable cargo cover connects. http://blogs-images.forbes.com/matthewdepaula/files/2014/07/15fordedge-titanium_26_hr.jpg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 It changed because CD4 was based on the European mondeo platform instead of the Mazda derived cd3 platform. Virtually guaranteed the edge will match the new fusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All Hat No Cattle Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 Why is there still not any info on fuel economy? Because the EPA hasn't rated them yet FWIW, I'm following the 2015 F-150 on another forum. The new 2015 trucks started Job #1 down the assembly line on Nov. 11, and they still don't have the final EPA ratings. One forum member works the Dearborn line, and he says that they are parking them without the window sticker. So I would seriously suggest that you not hold your breath waiting for the Edge mileage. :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 Is the EPA backlogged, or did Ford submit the vehicle/info late, do you know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bce Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 Is the EPA backlogged, or did Ford submit the vehicle/info late, do you know? The EPA is a government agency. What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omar302 Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 I believe Ford wants to wait till the last minute. Even the output figures for the 2.7 EcoBoost haven't been announced yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cv27 Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 If Ford thought the 2015 Edge's mileage would be good news, why not announce it early and let the news percolate? Makes you wonder... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 What would happen if they announced it and then the actual was lower? That would be bad. Nothing to gain by releasing numbers early. Lots to be lost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omar302 Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 On another side of the unknowns, I am concerned that the Sport is also available in FWD. Till date, all Ford's & Lincolns with the 3.5 EcoBoost came AWD (on FWD based platforms), the idea behaind that (i believe) was torquesteer or too much power for the front wheels. So having the 2015 2.7 available with FWD might be an indication of a significantly lower performance compared to the 3.5 EcoBoost in the FWD platforms.

WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 I truly hope that is not the case here, omar! Maybe they have improved upon suspension & transmission sufficiently to raise the bar much higher for FWD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All Hat No Cattle Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 Is the EPA backlogged, or did Ford submit the vehicle/info late, do you know? OK, we have been beating the mpg subject to death on the truck forum, asking the same questions as you have here. As I stated, the line is producing customers vehicles, with no EPA numbers. They will be forced to post them when they start shipping to the dealers, supposedly before the end of Nov. The scuttlebutt is that the truck numbers are good, up to 20% better than 2014. Here is what I understand so far. The holdup is Ford. The EPA does not do the actual original mileage testing, the manufacturers do it and the EPA spot checks the results. But, because there has been so much controversy and complaining about the figures, the EPA has mandated a supposedly more reliable real-world test, and put the manufacturers on notice that they will be checking the results. So now, at least on the truck, I think Ford is trying to figure out the highest mpg numbers they can post, without the bad publicity of the EPA saying BS on the numbers, which would be very embarassing. Here is all you want to know about EPA testing, and more than you might want to know. http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/how_tested.shtml I believe that they are going to do the same thing on the Edge. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cv27 Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 Right. The point I was trying to make is this. I assume Ford conducts its own tests prior to letting EPA have a run at it. If the internal results were good, wouldn't that be an incentive for Ford to send out the request to EPA early on? Why delay? Unless there are some guiding principles such as "better have the assembly plant produce a few hundred units in case of issues" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless there are some guiding principles such as "better have the assembly plant produce a few hundred units in case of issues" The EPA doesn't test every vehicle - only 10%. But I do think the EPA has to certify the manufacturer's results and that's what they're waiting on. I'm sure Ford submitted the numbers late but I don't know if they were trying to maximize the results. It's more likely there were changes late in the game that affected the fuel economy and required retesting. Ford also plays a lot of games with the F150 and GM/RAM. They like to keep towing, payload and mpg numbers close to the vest until the last possible minute. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
