2009 Ford Flex

I haven't seen a post about this new vehicle yet, and I'm sorry if this is a repost. On Fords website it has a customizing page that allows you to choose different things like the grille, wheels ect. I know it's not a Chevy but I think they look pretty cool. It all boils down to MPG these days, and it better be good.

I like the grooves in the side too. Its like a Scion XB on steroids!

If you haven't seen this thing in person you might not understand or get a feel for the size of this beast. The flex is about twice the size the Scion Xb. I saw it at the Calgary car show a little while ago and it does look nice but it's a big vehicle. I don't know what they have as an engine in it but I'd imagine it's a big V6 or maybe even V8. Mileage will not be very good.

Which is why I think it looks like *****. But that's just my opinion, and we all know opinions are like certain posterior orifices.

It's like a cross between a Mini and a 1st-gen xB, only bigger, heavier, uglier, and even more underpowered. Why can't Ford design a stylish car anymore?

I seen it at NAIAS. I agree you need to see it in person to actually get a good feel on it. I liked it but not so much to trade in the HHR for it. I don't know why I didn't take a pic of it at show wish I did now though.
