TO THE POINT What's New? Based on the Fusion platform, the 2007 Edge is an all-new crossover vehicle from Ford.
Selling Points: Capable powertrain, inoffensive styling, spaciousness, intelligent interior design, optional glass roof
DealBreakers: Transmission lacks a manual or sport mode, no available third row seat.
Our Advice: The Edge is worth a look for buyers seeking a comfortable five-passenger crossover with little sporting character.
