Spy Shots: 2011 Ford Flex to get new sportier trim level

http://www.autoblog.com/2010/05/10/2...ty-trim-level/



Our source informs us that the model will be available in four colors, three of which we spotted: Red Candy, White Platinum, Ingot Silver, and a particularly menacing black model that will feature blacked-out wheels, black chrome moldings, and black mirror scullcaps. The new model will build atop the current Limited trim and be available in both normally aspirated and EcoBoost flavors.

I just love the Flex, If I needed a family car it would be my only choice.

Ditto. I just don't find anything attractive at all about the Flex.

The "boxy look" is nice on cars that are supposed to be boxy. a big ole thing like this is neat. on a nissan cube... it looks a bit like crap lol

That titanium looks freakin awesome. If I needed a vehicle to haul more than just me and school supplies around, this would be pretty high up on my list

I totally dig these things! Look pretty good, very comfortable inside, and a boatload of space!

If I was looking for an over 5 passenger vehicle, I would definitely go with the Flex. Not only does it look better than anything else in that segment (ie minivans), but it's actually a really nice ride. I rode in one once and was really impressed. Plus, there are always options to tweak the looks of any ride to make it your own, take this Mobsteel one for instance:

Interior is one of the nicest ever put in a Ford IMO but I just can't get past the whole carton look of it. I've tried, I just can't.

The Flex was meant to be all-black - like the ones on the show "Fringe".

Of course, I have no built-in bias regarding black vehicles.
