Aside from an admittedly significant refresh in 2011, the guts underpinning the midsize Ford Edge (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/edge/) crossover (shown above as a 2012 model) haven't received much attention since it was introduced in 2005. That is all about to change as Ford (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/) plans to roll out a new concept vehicle at the LA Auto Show (http://www.autoblog.com/la-auto-show/) that will preview the next-gen Edge, which we may have actually gotten our first look at back in February (http://www.autoblog.com/2013/02/13/are-you-the-next-ford-edge/).

We've heard from numerous sources this week that a concept will be unveiled in LA previewing the 2015 Edge, and like many current Ford products (like Fusion (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/fusion/), Focus (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/focus/) and Fiesta (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/fiesta/)), it will be sold in a number of global markets including Europe. This news isn't entirely a surprise, though, as Ford announced in September (http://www.autoblog.com/2013/09/22/ford-investment-oakville-canada/) that it was investing in the Oakville, Canada assembly plant - where the Edge is produced - in order to make it a "global manufacturing plant."Next Ford Edge to go global, concept to debut in LA (http://www.autoblog.com/2013/11/07/next-ford-edge-concept-la-auto-show-debut/) originally appeared on Autoblog (http://www.autoblog.com) on Thu, 07 Nov 2013 09:35:00 EST.

Europeans love their space-efficient wagons and vans. I'll be surprised if a crossover sells well there.
