    Default Ford edge commercial?

    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.

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

    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?

    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..

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
