With head-turning design, bold styling and plenty of new wheel and color choices, you have several options to customize the Edge to your taste. http://www.gwinnettplaceford.com

Because we know that you lead a busy lifestyle, the Ford Edge was built to fit right into it with ease and convenience.  The cabin makes an ingenious use of space with an interior you can configure to meet your specific needs. The Edge understands the need to carry cargo, so it offers up to 68.9 cubic feet of space, which is large, flexible, and simple to use. With FoldFlat seats, the Edge can make room for items up to 8 ft in length. The second row offers standard reclining seats. Add to that an impressive towing capability and the list of things you can do with the Edge just keeps growing.

This vehicle really gets noticed; it simply can't help it. From its smooth shapes and bold front grille, Edge captures the attention of all who cross its path. Edge looks like nothing else on the road. It's aerodynamic and sleek, and has a strong profile, proving that it can hold its own among the competition. The interior is all new with striking and sleek flowing lines. The Ice Blue lighting offers ambiance and sophistication. The dash is completely redesigned with a softer, more luxurious look and feel. The instrument panel is sleek, modern, and intelligently laid out.

The 2011 Ford Edge makes your life easier with an impressive range of innovations and intuitive technologies. New features include the MyKey owner controls feature come standard on every Edge. The MyKey programs a "key limit" to certain vehicle functions to help promote safe driving habits for at-risk drivers, such as teenagers.

The new 3.5L Ti-VCT remains unmatched when it comes to power and economy. Not only is it best in class with 285 horsepower, this 6-speed automatic transmission holds its own with twin Independent Variable Cam Timing (Ti-VCT) technology. The refined interior delivers flexibility and functionality like never before, including class-leading comfort and convenience.

The new available Driver Entry Package includes Intelligent Access with Push-Button Start - eliminating fumbling with the keys to start and unlock the vehicle. The new remote start adds the convenience of starting from a distance to cool down the interior on hot summer days. http://www.gwinnettplaceford.com/2011-ford-edge.htm

The Driver Assistance Technology includes the BLIS - Blind Spot Information System with class-exclusive Cross Traffic Alert and rain-sensing windshield wipers! Other safety technologies include Adaptive Cruise Control and Collision Warning with Brake Support.

The 2011 Ford Edge includes the latest generation of the class-exclusive Microsoft SYNC technology. The SYNC powers the MyFord Touch system which means more voice control than ever before, so that you can keep your eyes on the road and your hands on the wheel. Operate the vehicle climate, change the radio station, make calls, ask for directions, and much more - with the power of Microsoft Sync and your voice.

The real game-changer for the 2011 Ford Edge is the MyFord Touch system. The Edge is the first Ford vehicle to feature this revolutionary technology that connects you to your vehicle in an entirely new and intuitive way. Two configurable 4.2" LCD color screens in the gauge cluster offers multifunction vehicle information on the left and infotainment/climate on the right. The 5-way steering wheel mounted controls on the left and right offer easy navigation through the menus and selection of content. The center console 8" LCD is a color touch screen that plays videos, displays vehicle information, and is the hub for audio and climate controls.

Starting at $27,220 MSRP, and available in an array of colors, the 2011 Ford Edge is the future in high-performance. Serving up sport-tuned suspension and 22" polished aluminum wheels only add to an already unique vehicle. Throw in performance tires, a beautiful exterior, and the great reputation of the Ford name, and it’s easy to see that the Edge has something to offer everyone. http://www.gwinnettplaceford.com
