Nice vehicle, but at $28k before options, it's too expensive. Seems to me the goal of carmakers was to get you in the door by offering cars you want at prices you can afford. Has nothing been learned? Still, I love Ford. :-)
I sat in one of these the other day, It caught my eye since I'm looking to buy a scion xb. I liked the looks and the interior. The only thing that bothered me about it is the way the door skin tucks under, creating a ledge on the inside of the door.
This to me is asking for rust down the road, its a ledge to hold salt and other road debris. Now, me being someone who owns their cars forever this is a concern. If i were to lease it, i wouldnt care cause it looks pretty good. scion copy or not.
making ths car is a problem to sell it is another, ford is using good qality materials nowadays but its leadership and marketing polcy are totally wrong.
I drive a 2006 Freestyle and it has been such a great car... I had a lexus 470 (too much gas) and an 2004 Infiniti M45- what a piece of crap the electrical system was... the car used to lose the gauges al the time and i would need to turn the car off and restart. never had any problems with the freestyle and now I am leasing a Flex. I have it on order and will take delivery in late August.
The more I look at this car, the more it appears as a good buy, it is functional without sacrificing too much. The only thing that is a turn off is the price. I dont expect to see big discounts on this vehicle in 2 years time.
What does this post mean? appears to be a good buy...the only turn off is the price?
Let me assure you that this car/CUV will be LOADED with incentives before the end of 2008. Ford will be FORCED to, because the price of Gas will not allow them to sell even one shift of production without it. If you like this car, and want to buy one, I STRONGLY urge you to let them work the Year 1 bugs out, and save $5K on the 2010 model (they'll be available in Feb, 2009. THEN compare with Asian offerings..
yeah to bad they had to put the ice box in there now the drunks are going to have a way to keep there beer cold good idea but bad for the drunks on the road

OH NOOOOO...
why ford flex did copy from scion xB design...
this flex is still not good design and poor system...
why is that...
1 - no amber yellow light on the back taillight for turning sign...
2 - wrong gas in hole on the right side while left side driver...
3 - too small windows...
4 - front grill is too close for hard breath cooling air go thought to radiator...
5 - my thumb is turning DOWN on flex

Was the designer who penned the Flex visually impaired by any chance?
