I like big cars and I cannot lie, but there's something about the Flex I can't deny. It's big, not round and frankly just too big for me.
Apparently, the Flex has got it goin' on, till the break of dawn because everywhere I went people were taken with this big wagon. I can see why - it has minivan usefulness without looking like - well, like a minivan. Several neighbors used the phrase "surf wagon." Although the Flex feels wide and long on the road, the handling is OK. It never feels sluggish and doesn't have excessive body roll. Nice Job, Ford.

I know it's just the way that the sun is reflecting off the Flex's roof; but it looks like you got the white roof in that picture.

Its a smart looking vehicle, except for the awful chrome Ford tri-grille.

I was really disappointed when I found out how big and expensive it was, because it's a good looking car.

Deep in the looks it's wearing, I'm hooked and I can't stop staring. Oh baby, I wanna get with you and take your picture.

It's not that expensive until you start to check off the option boxes.
And yeah, I almost thought that was a white roof.

The Flex is so sweet it’s got every mommy-mobile beat.
People say it costs alot but only if you check the options box.
I want one bad but my wife says no and I got mad.
I know Edmunds is fronting with this picture of the Flex because it’s not black on black like they attest.
It’s time for my rhyme to end so I can get back to surfin I mean working again.

This Cinnamon/White Suede color combo is a lot more pleasing than monotone Black/Black.
I'll take it Edmunds tastefully repainted the car.

I don't know why you guys didn't get the white roof, especially in warm, dusty LA. It's one of the coolest, most distinctive features of the car, really.

Yep, that's a different car. We have a short-term Flex in at the moment. Pretty much the same equipment, different paint scheme.

The black one looks like a hearse.

I actually saw an all black Flex today that had those hearse bars on the back side windows. Pretty hilarious. Nice to see that some of the owners do have a sense of humor.
