Is the Edge the eventual replacement for the Freestar or is Ford going to try again? 'Cause from what I can tell the Freestar is getting hammered in the marketplace and if Ford doesn't do something about it soon they'll be sitting on even more piles of inventory than they are now :ph34r:

The Edge is not a minivan. It's a crossover SUV mid size between the Explorer and the Escape.
We don't really know the fate of the Freestar, but death is imminent.

Actually If Ford kills the Freestar maybe they should concider other minivans made by Ford else where round the globe that are doing well. My suggestions for a replacement would be all these:

The All New 2007 Ford S-Max - Larger then the current Focus C-MAX and better looking
The 2007 Redesigned Ford Galaxy - Ford's Largest Minivan from Europe
The All New 2007 Ford Transit - Suprisingly a good MPV from what I hear
The 2007 MK II Focus C-MAX - It would more or less be a twin to the Mazda5
