I like the front! I don't like the lines in the side, kinda makes it look ugly. The back is ok. And it's too long!

When it's in production paint it looks alot better, the unpainted bumpers are a real drag on the car's look.

Just to let you know, its really no different in length than the now discontinued Freestar. And the lines in the sides, I like that. It makes it different, and that is why it will sell.

I think it looks really good, they need to cancel the taurus X and just have this an the edge. The only thing I dont like are the taillights.

^^^ Can someone photoshop the Flex to make it look like a classic woody wagon while retaining the "character lines" on the sides and back? Possibly might look better?

We have come full circle. The station wagon was very popular, then became "uncool", and was replaced by SUVs. SUVs were popular, are now "uncool", and are being replaced by station wagons...

I agree, a sport version could really help break the mini van mold. A woody edition would probably look really awesome...

I dunno. When I look at it, the word "squatty" comes to mind. I think it's got the best interior Ford's offered EVER, but exterior styling isn't for me.

I hope Ford doesn't underestimate the potential of this class-of-one vehicle. Unfortunately as advertising picks up doing it so early probably will cost them over 50,000 sales of cross-shopped Ford products before it even shows up. This may be the most relevant new product for Ford in over a decade.
