I just saw "flex" and "sexy" in the same headline without any sort of negative between the two.
I don't think it's a sexy car, in the same way that the Jaguar E-type or a maserati is a sexy car.
It's a stylish car, but it's kind of the "we found a way to make a box look good and we managed to avoid beating it with the element/xB/minivan stick"

I have a lot of Ford stock so I have confidence that they will get their act together and be competitive once again, at least I hope so.
As far as sexy for this vehicle I would have to put it in the Jeep, Hummer, and Aztec catagory. It looks to be a functional vehicle but good looking it is not. The price for a loaded one at $40,000 doesn't sound to attractive either. Do the Ford marketing people really think that pushing the word sexy will help convince people that it is good looking?

i second that
nothing sexy about a box
you guys have got to be kidding putting sexy and Flex in the same article, no more in the same sentence

I don't get the hype. It's a volvo 200 series wagon. Why are they slapping the title "CUV" on it? It looks to be raised a little but that does mean it will be any better offroading? I doubt.

I think you are confused Duder CUVs are not offroaders, those are the SUVs. The Flex is the quintessential CUV, it is raised enough as much as an Edge, it is car based and has loads of space.
Maybe the only thing that separates it from the CUV crowd could be its amazingly good looks.
