I think the new MKX is an absolutely wonderful vehicle and that Ford did an excellent job as they continue to build superior vehicles across their line.
What distinguishes the new MKX from the Edge is that 3.7 liter engine which cannot be had in the Edge unless you opt for the Sport with its stiffer ride and bigger wheels, not to mention the enhanced cabin with all of its sophisticated touches, advanced electronics, superb THX audio and so on.
I would take the MKX over the Edge any day plus the price differential is not that great between a top-of-the-line Edge and the MKX.
Great job, Ford!
