FORD to launch new crossovers without rebates

As part of its ongoing strategy to curb incentive spending, Ford will launch its new crossovers, the 2007 Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX without the usual cash rebates.

Although pricing won't be announced until later this year, the Edge is expected to carry a base price in the mid-$20,000 range. The Lincoln MKX is likely to carry a base price in the mid-$30,000 range.

Ford expects to sell 120,000 units of the Edge annually. Volume projection for the MKX is yet to be provided. Both crossovers go on sale this November.
