2019 Ford Edge
the 2018 (current) has the headlights integrated with the grill which i think looks great (or at least good )...
the 2019 model separates the grill and headlights...

I see what you mean. Do you think the rear end is an improvement? Methinks its a tad bit better, maybe. I searched for 2019 Ford edge, and saw a series of photos.

I wouldn't say they ruined it, but yes, the current one does look a little better.
As one of the (fairly) old-timers here, that new grille reminds me of what they did back in 1972, with the Ford Torino.

It's all subjective I suppose. I thought the current Edge was a bit too plain, and looked a bit too much like the 1st gen. I really like the updates they showed today and would likely consider the new ST trim if we needed a new crossover soon.

side so plain and as is now common with ford, ludicrously high hood line over fender, diminishing visibility.

To me, the thought of eliminating the normally aspirated engines is disappointing. I understand that only turbos will be available on the new Nautilus and Edge. Turbos apply consistent pressure to the engine, make it run so much hotter and are so complex. In the long run will fail leaving you with a steep bill for a vehicle under 10 yrs old.

And to further clarify, no turbos do not apply consistent pressure to the engine. They only do so under load, such as when accelerating. When lightly-loaded, the wastegate or diverter valve is often fully open, meaning there's no boost whatsoever. Combine this with the lower compression ratio that most turbo motors have, and there is actually less stress on the engine under many conditions.

looks like ford just ruined the edge...
2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 in the Edge ST makes 335 horsepower and 380 pound-feet of torque, increases of 20 hp and 30 pound-feet over the current Edge Sport AWD with the same engine

Where's the Fusion Sport and Explorer Sport if the Edge ST counts?? hah

I don't see a problem at all with separating the lights from the grille. It adds some visual pizzazz and extra style, whereas the current look is a little plain. Only problem now is Audi (new Q8) and Ford have nearly identical fronts. Makes Ford look ritzier and Audi look cheaper (?).
The crazy high hood though... that is bad. So are the vertical tailpipes on the ST. The circular ones on the standard model are also dated. They should just offer the rectangular ones on the Limited/Platinum across the board. Black plastic connecting the taillights appears cheap. Losing the gearshifter is also a great loss for those who want to rest their right hand on something during extended drives.
