A diesel and a six speed is too much to ask for, but Ford,if you're listening, Can ya do it? Pretty please? Huh? Huh? Oh well. My momma never fell for whining either...


Wagons Rule!]]>Apr 4th 2007 1:24PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/04/new-york-auto-show-2009-ford-flex-debuts/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/04/new-york-auto-show-2009-ford-flex-debuts/
Put a six speed in this (and preferably a diesel too), and I'll buy one.]]>Jul 4th 2007 12:40PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/04/new-york-auto-show-2009-ford-flex-debuts/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/04/new-york-auto-show-2009-ford-flex-debuts/Apr 4th 2007 1:25PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/04/new-york-auto-show-2009-ford-flex-debuts/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/04/new-york-auto-show-2009-ford-flex-debuts/Apr 4th 2007 1:27PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/04/new-york-auto-show-2009-ford-flex-debuts/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/04/new-york-auto-show-2009-ford-flex-debuts/Apr 4th 2007 1:28PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/04/new-york-auto-show-2009-ford-flex-debuts/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/04/new-york-auto-show-2009-ford-flex-debuts/Apr 4th 2007 1:28PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/04/new-york-auto-show-2009-ford-flex-debuts/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/04/new-york-auto-show-2009-ford-flex-debuts/Apr 4th 2007 1:29PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/04/new-york-auto-show-2009-ford-flex-debuts/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/04/new-york-auto-show-2009-ford-flex-debuts/
I think they have a winner here...big time. This type of vehicle is not my cup of tea, but it's glaringly obvious to me why people would be drawn to it...away from your everyday minivan/peoplemovers.

Also, let's get over the name change. This CUV won't need a familiar name to sell and make a splash. Good job Ford.]]>Apr 4th 2007 1:31PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/04/new-york-auto-show-2009-ford-flex-debuts/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/04/new-york-auto-show-2009-ford-flex-debuts/Apr 4th 2007 1:31PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/04/new-york-auto-show-2009-ford-flex-debuts/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/04/new-york-auto-show-2009-ford-flex-debuts/Apr 4th 2007 1:32PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/04/new-york-auto-show-2009-ford-flex-debuts/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/04/new-york-auto-show-2009-ford-flex-debuts/
I'm a fan of this car, but then again, I like wagons. The interior is great, and functional. I'm glad Ford figured out to move the cup holders next to the shifter instead of behind the shifter like in the mustang. I'm curious to see pricing on this.]]>Apr 4th 2007 1:32PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/04/new-york-auto-show-2009-ford-flex-debuts/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/04/new-york-auto-show-2009-ford-flex-debuts/Apr 4th 2007 1:35PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/04/new-york-auto-show-2009-ford-flex-debuts/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/04/new-york-auto-show-2009-ford-flex-debuts/
And I still can't get over the name. Flex is a completely forgettable badge that won't last into the next decade. I don't care if it describes the flexibility of the vehicle. It's dumb, and it cheapens what could (have) be(en) a breakthrough vehicle for Ford.

There's nothing sexy, inspiring, endearing, and/or automotive about the name Flex. Fairlane ftw.]]>Apr 4th 2007 1:41PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/04/new-york-auto-show-2009-ford-flex-debuts/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/04/new-york-auto-show-2009-ford-flex-debuts/
Anyone know if this AWD system is indeed different?]]>Apr 4th 2007 1:43PM
