Nice update. Not sure if it is enough to move the needle a bit more for the Flex, but time will tell . . .

I have always loved the flex, it makes me think of the old woody trucks. But it very expensive IMO

It may be kinda expensive but the thing is enormous on the inside. I'd take it over a minivan any day.

I like it too, I've always thought of the Flex as an urban, stylish minivan/wagon alternative. And in AWD EcoBoost form it's a screamer.

There's still part of me that doesn't quite get the point of having this and the Explorer. They're both large sorta-SUVs with three-row seating, based on the same platform.

Explorer is sporty and Flex is more professional.

I can't stand the stick on letters on the front. If it said 'F-O-R-D' instead, I'd like that part more. Overall, I like the changes. I was a fan of the first gen design a lot. Think of it like this; Flex is Ford's answer to the minivan.

I like it. I see hints of Range Rover and MINI in there, too, which is no bad thing.

Would love to see it sold over here, although it'd have to have a diesel.
