The award winner is determined by a panel of automotive journalists from the United States.
“The Ford Edge is connecting with multicultural buyers and the Urban Truck of the Year award confirms it,” said Francisco Codina, Ford’s group vice president, North American Marketing, Sales and Service. “The Edge delivers exactly what customers shopping in the red-hot crossover market want: great design, dynamic performance, a high standard of quality and outstanding value.”
Ford Edge is part of the growing crossover vehicle segment. It joins the Ford Freestyle, Lincoln MKX, and the Ford Airstream Concept—Ford’s futuristic crossover. Crossovers could become the largest segment in the industry with sales expected to top 3 million by 2010.
By the way, whenever you buy a new vehicle from Toyota, or Honda, you are just helping their economy and they are going to put America down the drain and have more power than us because all these people buying their cars, and making them rich, so you hurt USA when you buy japan cars. Besides ford and all American car companies have cars that get good gas mileage!!!
Have a nice day.
"urban truck" is a market speak oxymoron.
I'm waiting for a real small SUV. How about a Bronco III? Think halfway between a Jeep Wrangler an a Honda Element.
I'm looking for body on frame construction, 4WD with lockout hubs, real off road capability, a hose it out interior, and decent towing capacity. A diesel would be nice so you could afford to drive it. Removable doors and hardtop would be another nice touch.
Give me a vehicle I can take out into the middle of the woods, and get back in without ruining it. A significant portion of gen X, and gen Y are not pampered city kids. Where is the Ford for us?
You keep talking about "Built Ford Tough", why not prove it and give us a sport utility with real utility.
Maybe you should just bring the whole euro line-up here and sell them as mercury's because anyone that appreciates a nice car would not go anywhere near one of your current US line-up products.
