<img hspace="0" vspace="4" align="right" border="1" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/12/edge.und3.kgp.ed_opt.jpg" class="right border" alt="" />Ford</a> and <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/lincoln/">Lincoln</a>'s crossover offerings are plentiful, but all attention is being paid nowadays to the boxy-yet-practical <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/flex">Flex</a> and hit-by-the-ugly-stick <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/mkt">MKT</a>. What about the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/edge">Edge</a> and <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/mkx">MKX</a>? This duo was launched years before the automaker's polarizing pair of three-row CUVs arrived. <br />
<br />
Well, their due for redesigns. Or at least, according to these spy shots, refreshenings of their front and rear ends. In the Edge's case, that means making the already handsome people mover look a bit more windswept, though it appears things will stay largely the same between the A- and D-pillars. <br />
<br />
The changes look more substantial for the MKX, which launched before Lincoln debuted its increasingly ubiquitous doubled-winged grille design. That punum looks pretty okay on the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/mks">MKS</a> sedan and like a baleen whale on the oversized MKT. It looks just right on the MKX to us.<br />
<br />
Ford and Lincoln may have other news about the Edge and MKX for us - powertrain and infotainment upgrades most likely - at the 2010 <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/detroit-auto-show/">Detroit Auto Show</a> in early January, which is when we expect to see these new looks formally trotted out on stage. <br />
