If you read this website regularly you might think the Edge ST is really important. The performance-tuned Edge ST portends what Ford Performance looks like, for pavement, in a post-car world.

The same folks who’ve taken care of Ford loyalists who think performance is important and created whatever performance halo exists around Ford’s broader lineup. The crew that up-tuned recent mainstays like the Fiesta ST and Focus ST, and delivered track burners like the Focus RS and Boss 302 and GT500, not to mention two generations of Ford GT and off-road monsters like the Raptor. You know those people - the wing in Dearborn that goes back decades to the SVT days. The Edge ST is the first utility from Ford Performance. The Edge is expected to fill a large chunk of Ford’s coming no-cars gap, so it’s at least a bit more important than it might appear at first blush. Then again, before the current Edge finishes its product cycle and gets completely redone (or not), there probably will not be a single Ford sedan or conventional sedan-based wagon sold in the United States. Ford’s midline crossover has been outsold in 2018 by a couple of Ford’s dying (or dead) sedans, for cryin’ out loud.
