Are the rumors true? Is Lincoln preparing its own version of the 2009 Ford Flex? This mule recently spotted in Detroit seems to indicate that a Lincoln crossover is in the works. Obviously none of the sheetmetal on this test mule is headed for production, but that big waterfall grille is all Lincoln...
And as our spy photographer pointed out, the first test mules of the Ford Flex also used Freestyle sheetmetal. Weâll see if anything shows up at the 2008 Detroit Auto Show
in a couple weeks.

So will this compete with the Cadillac SRX?

SRX is a baby.
This car is HUGE, as in HUGE.
The Flex is a whopping 79.9" wide.

That's wider than any available full-sized SUV.
But it's 202.3" long, which is the same as a full-sized SUV.
This is a Buick Enclave competitor.

A class of it's own in a bad way.

Flex is neat, and this should innovate on the interior front. I expect to see heated and cooled seats in both rows, the only question is will they offer a massage function in the Lincoln. :)

This looks a lot like a Audi Q7 bur roomier for families, at last Detroit gets it.
