I think the 2 things that bother me most are the roof sweep (as was mentioned earlier by Max I think) and the creases on the hood. These creases are aligned with the outside edges of the grill on the Edge. They look like they are part of the design. On the Escape, they don't really align with anything. It would look so much better if they didn't exist. I wonder if they are there for aerodynamics or structure. If it's structure, they should have done something on the underside and smoothed it out on top.
The reason why I went for a 2008 Escape and not a 2013 or newer ( Kuga in europe) is that the 2008-2012 has a lot of f150 and explorer in it. And of course it was 40000 dollars less here in Holland.
The 2015 Escape here in Holland costs around $ 50000..........the new Edge $70000 with a whimpy 2 litre DIESEL.

I remember going to Europe as a teenager and being shocked at what a Mustang cost in Denmark, about 17,000 USD. At the time they were about 5000 USD in the US. A Danish kid about my age said to me, "It's every Danish boy's dream to own a Mustang". I said back to him, "It seems at some point in their lives every American owns a Mustang whether they want one or not" I think we both walked away in total disbelief :lol:
the 2.5 is the same. I highly doubt it'll have an engine cover but we'll have to wait to see. That engine is 8+ years old now. I am not sure if its performance has changed at all
I don't think so since as a car it's only a year old :shrug:
