Odd styling to me.Especially the rear.

Agree, and it took time to grow on me, nice alternative to boxed Flex, not sure I would take iot over Flex Premium which is only Flex I like for about $5K less, would take either over Edge, just my opinion

The Flex is ok.I still prefer the new Explorer.
The MKT interior does look good in black leather.Tan and other colors not so much but I do love black leather interiors..

Looks good but another SUV that I find to have pricing too high. Very nice updates.

Love the Ford Info system as well.

My local dealer only had 1 2011 (the salespeople were useless and the first one didn't even know the 2011 was there).

They had dozens of 2010 Edges collecting dust.

Pricing is an issue with the Edges and will continue to be even with the 2011.

yesterday i went to go look at one and the interior is AMAZING. the center console for it looks and feels cleaner than anything else i've seen in a while.

Of course the one i looked at was being bought by a customer, but i begged him to let me look at it.

2 in that day, both sold the same day.

For Lincoln to have hope of a future will require that they have a better understanding of how to set pricing.
