This is the weekend where the lovely people at Ford have sent me a Ford Flex to test drive, part of their Ford Spring Break Drive campaign! I was so excited to be approached to give my views on the design of this vehicle. One reason why I decided to check it out was because I don’t talk much about cars here, but they are a huge part of modern design and technology. Just as our houses reflect our style, our cars follow suit.
Another reason why I decided to take Ford up on their offer was because of the relationship that my family has had with Fords since before I was born. Stay tuned for more on that story, a review, and perhaps even some video!
That being said, I’ve got my Flip cam ready and can’t wait to take it out for a spin!

That has to be one of the ugliest cars I have ever seen. Hideous.

The reports that I have read have all been very favorable but the car is slightly higher than its competition. This is due to the interior-especially on the higher levels. Some reviews (incl Car and Driver I believe) state the interior is more Lexus like than the norm for this category. And most conclude that between the nice interior as well as the ride and handling, the money is worth it.

The car is reminescent in size, of the Ford Galaxie 500 convertible I had in the sixties. For such a big car, I wonder how it can give the gas milage we need today. I know square cars are ‘in” but I can’t get into it. I hope it rides and handles well. It will be interesting to see what demographic buys it.

What a piece of crap. I sat in a Flex at a recent auto show just to see what the hype is all about. It’s nice – until you start noticing ALL the hard plastic everywhere. My ’96 Maxima doesn’t even have this much hard plastic in it. I’d take a Flex if you gave it to me, but I wouldn’t spend my money on one.
