We're behind not only lacking fog lights, but also some other nice features.

 

For example, they have all auto windows, not just front ones like we do.

Damn, that's unfair!

Unfair is right!

 

Small consolation, but you'll soon be able to order some of these parts aftermarket from ebay or aliexpress. I'll bet you'll be able to source the rear window controllers if you can find the part #. I did notice that the Chinese model fog lights have chrome trim (no LED surround) so they have to go after-market too. http://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?catId=0&SearchText=ford+edge+2015

 

You can even order "Bonnet hood character trim" to let everyone know how important you are! :)-

 

Oh, and IMO the only steering wheel worthy of upgrading to is from the Focus RS. Why can't Ford put these in all their 'sport' models? 1000x better than the Edge sport wheel!

Unfortunately you have to live in China to get these differentiating features. Pass.

 

Some of this is due to local market appeal. Some is local regulations in whichever country its in. Some is due to backasswards regs here in the states. Thats why a lot of cars haven't moved to LED headlights here, as an example. Thank your federal gubmint for that one. Believe me automakers would prefer to standardize globally. Ford has been trying to do that for a number of years now. Doesn't do them any good to have to use two different (or more) parts bins
