What's New for 2012
For 2012, the Ford Edge gets a new, optional turbocharged four-cylinder "EcoBoost" engine that essentially produces the power of a V6 but returns the fuel economy of a four-cylinder. The EcoBoost Edge also comes with aerodynamic enhancements, which include shutters in the grille that automatically open and close based on speed for improved airflow. The Sync electronics interface system is also now available on the lower trims in a decontented, cheaper form.

U.S. Consumer Spending Lower Than Expected
A decline in wages contributed to a weaker-than-expected consumer spending total for November. For the month, purchases rose a scant 0.1 percent compared to an earlier forecast of a 0.3 percent increase.
“In the absence of a significant pickup in income, we won’t see a big boost in spending,” said Yelena Shulyatyeva, an economist at BNP Paribas in New York. “The momentum will slow in the fourth quarter, but the economy is still growing.”
US Durable Goods Orders Jump 3.8%
The U.S. Commerce Department announced that orders for durable goods increased by 3.8 percent for the month of November. This greatly exceeded expectations of a 2 percent increase.
“This was a positive surprise, and the prior month’s number was also revised upwards,” said Chris Orndorff, senior portfolio manager at Western Asset Management.
“A good sign, but the rolling average of the last three months is still far below the high durable goods levels of Q1 2011.
