Article comments for Full Test: 2007 Ford Edge SEL Plus AWD - On its face, and it's a big face, the 2007 Ford Edge has all the makings of a competitive crossover-utility vehicle, or CUV: rigid unit-body construction, ample 265-horsepower V6, all-wheel drive, cutting-edge styling (sorry) and room for five plus some luggage. It drives smoothly and quietly, and additional amenities include optional sat-nav, upgraded audio, rear-seat entertainment and a monster-sized power-sliding glass roof. So what's the problem? (more)

The problem with DFI is that it reduces low end torque. Americans LOVE low end torque. Mazda turbos their 2.3L DFI to add back that torque. (See the MazdaSpeed6 with 270+ hp from 2.3L) Ford will turbo the 3.5L also, take a look at the Lincoln MKR concept. (CLICK HERE) for an article about this cars engine. This engine is producing 118hp/L. Mark.

its the Turbo that saps the low end torque and the DISI that adds it back. Sorry. |

You're not out-accelerating Corvettes, Mustang GTs, or SRT8s with your 4500 lb Edge, even with an air charger and nitrous. Get real. The kind of cylinder pressure needed to beat those cars with your V6 would blow the head bolts off or shear the differential gears, or both. |
