Re: 2009 Ford Flex
Looks like a stretched Scion xB ... I kinda like the look, but looks too long ... dimensions are slightly off.

Re: 2009 Ford Flex
we just got rid of all these and now we are getting in the 2010 flex's. The 09's are ok but alot of electrical problems. O and for you guys that want speed in these the 2010 will have the twin turbo eco boost. the interior of these are awsome 3d turn by turn nav, sync, fridge in rear center council. i took these home every week becase there are so nice. im telling you go test drive one and you'll like them.

Re: 2009 Ford Flex
Looks like the Scion Hako concept...kinda.

Either way, not a fan.

By the same token, just because it IS a 4400-pound people-mover, that doesn't mean it needs to ride like an RV.

I think a revolutionary styling job like this one deserves a revolutionary ride improvement.

I hate Nissan - but if Nissan had built the Flex, it would accelerate briskly and corner sharply. Heck, if Ford built it for Europe, the Flex would accelerate briskly and corner sharply.

So who's to blame? Ford US? The American consumer? Ford US' perception of the American consumer?

Ford excels in missed opportunities. One of these days, they'll get it together. Perhaps when EcoBoost sees production.

Re: 2009 Ford Flex
I bet you million bucks that if Ford were to bring the Mondeo from europe and rebadge it with a cool name, it would be a best seller.

Re: 2009 Ford Flex
How about Contour or Mystique?


Yes, I'm aware the current Mondeo is a completely different car.

my unrealistic dream is for some of those FPV's

But one normal Euro Ford that would have guaranteed my return business was the Puma
