At 3700 lbs base weight, its 700 lbs less than a BOF V6 Explorer and only 500 more than a 2WD V6 Fusion. That's pretty light for anything that size and with that much go juice.

Exactly. Everybody knows you need >>
-an extra-size crossover utility vehicle
-a full-size crossover utility vehicle
-a compact crossover utility vehicle
-a sport, compact crossover utility van
-a mid-size utility crossover sport van
-a super-size sport cross-utility convertible cargo/passenger vehicle
And then you need to have each one badge-engineered across your three primary makes. Just to be certain all market segments and demographics are covered.
I mean, really...

It seems its destiny was to to fail from the start
I can't see any advantages it offers over previously existing models. With its relatively poor mileage (17 / 24 HWY mileage), relatively high price ($28,295 - $40,000+) and totally unattractive styling, it seems its destiny was to to fail from the start.
I'm not in the least surprised. This Ford Flex is too boxy, I think it is very UGLY.
