Ford tries for blandest, ugliest vehicle in the World
It's hard to go bankrupt without help like this.

We let it happen...and we deserve the results. |

Your emails are like sperm, ready to dash out and do their thing. 2. Your ISP is a prick. 3. APEWS is a condom. 4. We are innocent maidens who do not like surprises. 5. You are asking for one teeny hole in the rubber. You'll have to get us drunk first. - Hey Bub |

"Rich" > wrote in message ... > It's hard to go bankrupt without help like this. > > http://en.autos.sympatico.msn.ca/cro...mentid=8401510 I suppose beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I sort of like. Seems to be a practical alternative to SUVs for people that need that sort of thing but want better fuel economy and don't need to 8,000 lbs. I can remember when Ford introduced the original Taurus and Sable - lots of people called them ugly at the time. Time will tell. I see lots of Scion SBs running around, and Honda Elements. The Flex looks better than either of those and with an MSRP under $30k it seems a decent bargain (again for anyone who needs a vehicle that large). Do really think it is ugly compared to the large number of SUVs, Crossovers, and mini-vans on the market? It certainly is not the blandest, ugliest vehicle in the world - in my opinion (which I value highly). Ed |

Looks fairly decent, no weird lines or bulges, and has fairly decent proportions. I think it could be hot rodded and tricked a bit and look even better, but it's not too bad the way it is.

It's as if someone at Ford said, "Let's look around and see what niche vehicle is attractive and kind of popular, and make our little van-like transport module fit that visual mold. Hm. Mini Cooper? Give it a shot." Not that I'd ever choose a car for reasons of appearance. -- Frank ess S197 convertible; exception that proves the rule. |

At least it is not an Aztec. It seem to have very good space
utilization too.

The Flex has been shown for quite a while. I don't know about bland or ugly (some folks will tell you that the new Corvette is ugly, too), but I see an updated station wagon with more utility than the old ones ever had. dwight |
