I only just noticed, the letters of the name "edge" could lend themselves to some fun with the branding of various versions based on the drivetrain: eDge for a diesel, edGe for gasoline, EDge and edGE for diesel-electric and gasoline-electric hybrids, and Edge or edgE for the electric-only version. Not that I know if they're doing that already, or what fuels they have versions for; just that they could, um, "signal this information in a very compact way", given that name. (Using different colouring of the letters, of course, not capitals like I did to illustrate above.)

Theflyersfan I wonder how many people recalled these after watching EuroCrash. There's someone one street over that has a similar yellow one of these, and you can tell he loves that car. It was just a tough sell - too expensive, way too heavy, zero passenger space, limited cargo bed, but for a chunk of the population, looked awesome. This was always meant to be a one and done car. Hopefully some are still running 20 years from now so we have a "remember when?" moment with them.
Lorenzo A friend bought one of these new. Six months later he traded it in for a Chrysler PT Cruiser. He already had a 1998 Corvette, so I thought he just wanted more passenger space. It turned out someone broke into the SSR and stole $1500 of tools, without even breaking the lock. He figured nobody breaks into a PT Cruiser, but he had a custom trunk lock installed.
Jeff Not bad just oil changes and tire rotations. Most of the recalls on my Maverick have been fixed with programming. Did have to buy 1 new tire for my Maverick got a nail in the sidewall.
Carson D Some of my friends used to drive Tacomas. They bought them new about fifteen years ago, and they kept them for at least a decade. While it is true that they replaced their Tacomas with full-sized pickups that cost a fair amount of money, I don't think they'd have been Tacoma buyers in 2008 if a well-equipped 4x4 Tacoma cost the equivalent of $65K today. Call it a theory.
Eliyahu A fine sedan made even nicer with the turbo. Honda could take a lesson in seat comfort.
