Ford is planning to delay the launch of its long-awaited Ford Edge crossover SUV by "a few extra weeks" to tackle some logistics and assembly issues

Ford hopes that the crossover will help the company to compensate for the slowing down sales of large SUVs, which market position has been severely damaged by record-high oil prices. Although being much smaller than a real truck, the Edge will offer significantly better mileage.

I saw my first all new Audi S6 (third gen), a brand new A8 and a 2002 RS6 as well as the all new Subaru WRX all using my brand spanking new Canon XTi

Ford spokespeople let it slip that the company is considering SVT variants of its new Edge crossover and Fusion sedan. The move would support Mark Field's statements last month that SVT is alive and well, and not on its deathbed as previously rumored.
