this is not a concept, this exact vehicle will be for sale next summer.... along side the taurus x. to me this kinda makes the taurus x redundant. anyways, i think this will be a hit. its not beautiful, but it is interesting and different. AAAAND practical, cool features, etc.. looks like ford is delivering on the bread and butter products fairly well.. edge, fusion, flex, maybe taurus.
that is #$%#ing awesome. Ford actually got it into production intact! And this is a minivan type of vehicle not an SUV.
are you #$%#ing kidding? the Edge is selling like crazy. Its outselling the GMC Acadia and Saturn Outlook and a shitload of other CUV's. Its a success.
People love to hate on Ford, but you have to admit this thing is pretty damn good. As a minivan alternative I would definately consider one. My only concern is that Ford has way too many of these SUV/Crossover vehicles in the same price range: Ford Taurus X, Ford Edge, Ford Explorer, Ford Flew... Seems very confusing and unnecessary to me.
I don't really see how its a crossover vehicle. Its a Boxy Subaru Legacy Wagon type deal, a Stretch Scion, a lowered Jeep Commander. Its nothing new really.
None of those three vehicles have anything to do with each other, or this Ford. The Legacy is a station wagon, a Scion is a "city-car," and a Jeep Commander is a full-size truck-type SUV (you know, it can off-road). The Ford Flex is neither a station wagon, a city car, or a full-size truck-type SUV.
This is awesome! Kinda what a late 70's Wagoneer should be like nowadays: fully sik. I really like this car!
This is supposed to replace the minivan and it doesn't have sliding rear doors? That's probably the most useful part about minivans for parents.
