2008 Ford Edge
Summary

The Ford Edge offers striking styling. The Edge is a far more efficient vehicle than a traditional SUV. Opt for all-wheel drive and you've got a great all-year-round car as well. Some criticize the Edge for not having three rows of seats but that fact makes for a much more practical and pleasant five-seater. In short, if you aren't towing heavy trailers or frequently driving over rugged terrain, the Ford Edge is a smarter choice than a traditional, truck-based SUV.

NewCarTestDrive.com correspondent John Rettie test drove the Ford Edge in and around San Francisco. Correspondent Kirk Bell contributed to this report from Chicago.
