PrinzII Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 In reading this, my take would be the following: Take the 400 hp TT V6 from the Continental (Make it 450+ hp) and couple it with a beefier AWD system Install the 9 speed trans Bang and Olufsen is a good choice. Revel is better. B&W is even better. LED Headlights Full leather interior No rotary dial shifter Offer a Manual transmission option Upgrade the steering for more feel and sharper handling without compromising ride quality See, I am not asking for much.....lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 This does leave room for an Edge RS if they wanted to do one - with the 3.0L EB, CCD and Torque Vectoring AWD. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 BTW there is no 9 speed auto - it's 8 speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burrcold Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 Honestly, I'm not loving it from a styling perspective. I think the current sport grille looks more upscale and aggressive (I also don't like that the new front just looks like a Focus ST jumbo sized). Also, I think they should have kept the "light bar" but updated it. It's definitely a distinctive feature of the Edge that is now lost. Personally I like horizontal exhaust outlets vs these new squared off vertical ones. The interior is basically the same (I figured they would go to the rotary dial selector). The ONE part of the exterior I do like more than the current model is the new hood, and obviously the fog/lower accent lights. The current triangular ones never "fit" in my eyes, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaX83_ZA Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 I like it, if they didnt ruin the Sport, sorry I mean ST, with garbage suspension setup i.e. if the people that built the focus ST\RS came within a mile of setting this up, it will be horrible (in my humble opinion). Honestly, I would gladly give up all the new safety kit just for Magna Ride. My list of essentials is: 1. More Power 2. Better Gearbox 3. Better Sound System 4. Better Suspension and Damping (Magna Ride) 5. Adaptive Cruise Control 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onyxbfly Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 Thank the high heavens they finally will give us a black headliner! I love the softer edges no pun intended. I'm not fond of the rotary shifter and the exhaust bezel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfbluenote Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 My first thoughts are what can I retrofit onto my '17 Sport? If the suspension is an improvement I would start there...The grill looks good too. But seeing as Bilstein are not offering anything for the Edge as of yet,an improvement in the set up would be interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Young Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 I like the looks of it in everyway. The rotary shift knob is well liked with people who have it on their F-150's. I bet this thing will cost a pretty penny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
todd92 Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 (edited) Which F-150 has a rotary shift knob? Mine doesn't. Edited January 17, 2018 by todd92 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Young Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 I read it on the F150 Forum I'm on. The person might have been talking about the rotary shift knob feels fine in his Fusion or maybe his Expedition. I can't find the 'post' I read this. I 'bet' it (rotary shift knob) will be coming to a lot of other Ford models in the next few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 Probably the new Expedition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
