Auto makers push crossovers at Detroit show
At the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, automakers highlighted crossovers like the 2007 Edge and compact models built on car platforms.

Ford plans the Edge with a 250 horsepower V6 and improved styling to attract buyers. Fields says it arrives next fall.
