Ford edge commercial?

[Marta Mike]

They claim it beat the bmw x5 in a 0-60 test Now im sure top end the x5 would just walk it, but off the line faster than ANY x5 im suprised. This cant be against the monsterous v8 x5 tho.

[OneSlow5pt0]

and kia claims the Sonata is better than a BMW....LMAO

[OneSlow5pt0]

sounds like people are trying to hate on BMW

[Marta Mike]

and kia claims the Sonata is better than a BMW....LMAO

i thought that was a hyundai commercial

[OneSlow5pt0]

lol same thing

[VooDooXII]

That's impossible...do you know how much the Edge weighs?

[OneSlow5pt0]

idk it can drive on sides of buildings,maybe 1,800 pounds?

[VooDooXII]

Seriously though...a vehicle that small should not weigh 4000+ pounds.

[Marta Mike]

i dunno how much it weighs, but i do know that commercial said it beat the x5 from 0-60

[The Green Monster]

i'd have to see it beating one on video

[VooDooXII]

The Edge weighs 4528 lbs...way too much. Funny that it weighs about 600 - 700 pounds more than its platform-mate, the CX-7.

Anyway...According to Car and Driver:

Ford Edge SEL 0 - 60 mph = 7.6 seconds
BMW X-5 3.0i 0 - 60 mph = 7.8 seconds

So yes...it is quicker...but honestly, who cares?

[OneSlow5pt0]

lol,but what would u rather drive a ford edge or BMW X-5

ill take bmw

ya the 3.0 not the others.. if all these cars are so much better than BMW's then why buy a BMW? idiot comercials, i always laugh when they compare german cars to their POS.. once they go bankrupt we will see if they still compare to german cars..

[VooDooXII]

They just like saying that they have that leg up on the brand.

[koukis14]

Like the people in the market for an X5 are going to watch that commercial and say "well fuck, lets go buy a Ford"

LIRL

Ford fell off...they've had far too many flops on the market (Thunderbird, Blackwood, Aviator, Marauder, Five Hundred) and their new Five Hundred/Taurus is hideous...I mean...did they want to sell fewer of those? They made a mistake with the Edge in making it so heavy too. People who buy vehicles like that want mileage too...and that will not deliver.

I guess they'll just have to rely on the Mustang and their F-Series trucks.

[Frög]

just had too..

[JITB]

the marauders are nice cars..

eges are nice too
the lincolns look alot better than previous years to

[BiH1320]

and kia claims the Sonata is better than a BMW....LMAO

+1

[VooDooXII]

Marauders could've been good...they're almost like modern day Grand Nationals.

I don't know why they didn't catch on.

Then again...I don't know why the GTO didn't catch on either.

[OneSlow5pt0]

i think that GTO are good cars but the stlying is so close to all the other pontiacs

Not the first time a lesser company points out its better than a luxury car company at something.
While most of you drool over M5s, most drive 525s, which had only 189hp until last year where it got bumped to around 230hp last year.

While its nice to have a GS 430, most are GS 300s and a Altima V-6 is faster than that.

Most luxury car owners are not worried about 0-60, slalom figures etc. They want the image, the luxury and the car.

[The Yousef]

if they end up making this:



then that would be the shiz...

[OneSlow5pt0]

is that the interceptor?

[1SICKLEX]

Since no one wants to look

X5 3.0, 0-60 in 7.8 seconds. It does weigh 600lbs more than the last generation.

I can't find the ()#$()#) Edge figures.
HEre is the ad

thats was supposed be the new lincoln town car, or continenetal, but they got rid of the towncar. The new big car out of lincoln is the mks..

Besides...is anyone really going to feel 0.2 seconds difference?

Someone may have posted this ad earlier...but remember when Subaru went after BMW and Audi? Theirs made a bit more sense...but I mean...these cars are not in the same market at all.






At least their attack on Volkswagen's campaign made a little more sense...being that those cars are in more similar markets.

[OneSlow5pt0]

lol,leat the RX-8 can win best rotary in the world

[VooDooXII]

Know what really impressed me? Porsche's variable geometry turbo engine.

I didn't know about those previously...and when I found out, I thought they were the coolest damn things on the planet. I did a whole project on that engine for my Engineering II class.

[1SICKLEX]

VooDoo, this came out shortly after those ads....Bentley showed out!!!

[VooDooXII]

AHHH I forgot about that.

Plain and simple.
