Now that the slogan has been relegated to the dustbin of marketing history, Ford is finally making a Bold Move with the 2009 Ford Flex. Read more and tell us what you think here! First Look: 2009 Ford Flex

BRAVO Ford, this is a step in the right direction!! I hope to see more models with similar influence!
#3 of 66 Make a woody version! by zoomzoomn Apr 25, 2008 (4:51 am)
Man, if they would just make a woody version and slap a Country Squire badge on it I'd be all in. Seriously, though. I commend them on the bold move. I just hope that they market it the right way and that it pays off for them!

Ford seems to be borrowing a lot of its vehicle names lately from Gillette shaving products what with the Fusion, Edge, and now the Flex----i think the next one will definitely be the Mach 3 Turbo.......you heard it here first ps - ford exec called the 500 a Homer mobile ----rumor has it guy was bound and gagged and put in janitor closet when this thing debuted Replies to this message: orangelebaron (Apr 25, 2008 6:13 pm)

oh i know that word is passe, but i love my volvo and this is way way cool. i hope ford learnt from volvo and has great safety and well built interiors. audi interiors would be even better, but that might be too much.

Replying to: traveler73 (Apr 25, 2008 7:28 am) ...well... Ford did have the Mustang Mach 1, so it's not so out there. As long as they don't have Ford Lady Bic or a Ford Sensitive Skin.
#9 of 66 Another Edsel? by larym Apr 26, 2008 (6:24 am)
Good looking car, but high price and low fuel economy in poor financial time for many households. Not what most people are looking for right now. Replies to this message: winemaker23 (Apr 28, 2008 6:38 am) rgurta (Aug 26, 2008 7:04 am)

Replying to: larym (Apr 26, 2008 6:24 am) The types of people needing this type of auto (such as myself), are those with multiple children or extended families and who cannot afford to shell out high dollars for such a vehicle just to look a little trendy.... Millions of minivan drivers don't do so for the look of them, that's for sure! And they certainly don't drive minivans for the fuel economy either. I think FORD will miss the mark with this one unless they drop the price. If they do drop the price, they could really capture a larger portion of that market segment, as it is an interesting alternative to the minivan. Or offer a HYBRID option to the vehicle. I'd consider one, but not at the current estimated price!
