Thanks for posting. Can't wait for more pictures! I'm impressed by the options/features on the vehicle!

 

Flex’s signature exterior design includes:

Ford’s signature chrome horizontal three-bar grille, which builds on the family “face” that defines the Ford Edge and Taurus X crossovers, as well as the Ford Fusion sedan.
A unique, all black “greenhouse” – defined as the windshield, rear and side windows,
and the pillars separating and connecting them to the roof. The design brings together seamlessly the body with the available multi-panel roof. Customers can pair a White Suede or Silver roof option with one of Flex’s 10 available exterior colors or choose a body-color roof.
Standard 18-inch or available 19-inch bright aluminum wheels, which plant the new crossover firmly on the road.
Flex’s integrated rocker panel design, which eliminates the need for customers to step over the rocker panel when getting in and out of the vehicle.
Edge-inspired taillamps, which are outlined in chrome. Flex Limited models have LED taillamps and a brushed satin finish metal appliqué spanning the center of the liftgate.

 

wow that thing looks hot! I'd be tempted to buy that.

 

Pictures and info are starting to roll into the media site. I am grabbing them as soon as they show up so i'll have more in about 5min

 

I like it. Looks great.

 

From Media.Ford.Com -- More to follow.

2009 Ford Flex: Interior refrigerator, second-row footrests, Ford Syncâ„¢ in-car communications and entertainment system, capless fueling, a 2,300-song personal juke box, programmable ambient interior "mood lighting" and a Multi-Panel Vista Roofâ„¢ are among the many customer-inspired innovations

 

Few outside shots.. the site is running SLOW since im sure its getting hammered like mad right now.

 

Those door handles look like they might work on our car, for anyone who wants chrome handles but doesn't want just an overlay.

Unless these are just an overlay.

I dig on the Volvo-esque interior, I can't buy into the exterior styling though.

 

lol Zoran aren't you on BlueOvalNews? Meh, its a weird acronym, i remember trying to figure out what it meant a while back.

Internet community response to just about anything is often incredibly negative, so relatively speaking, I'd say the overall reaction to this car is pretty **** good.

My dad is nuts about Country Squires and Colony Parks... Pretty much the only thing he uses the internet is for looking for his next one. It worked before, he's still driving his latest find, a 91 Colony Park which he took a very long train ride out to go get about 6 years back or so. This is the first car I think he might consider looking at since then... The Freestyle just wasn't quite his thing. This one's got a bit more of that classic character, and keeps a nice low stance. Closest thing to those old Panther station wagons anybody's put out since, I think.
