#4 of 47 Re: Flex owner [nvbanker] by rgurta Aug 26, 2008 (6:59 am)
Replying to: nvbanker (Aug 15, 2008 9:11 am) I did not like the looks of the Flex when it was first shown as a Fairlane. Somehow I got used to the looks of the Flex and now it suits me fine. It is surprising how many people have asked to see my car and how they are impressed with it. I have never had a car that turned so many people's heads. I wonder why Ford does not advertise this car. I traded in a Freestyle and I loved this car too. Ford didn't advertise this car either. It was a great car and roomy. My friends all were impressed with the car and some had bought one just because they had seen mine. The reason that I traded cars was because I could not pull the Freestyle behind my motor home. The Flex is towable all four wheels down. Replies to this message: rohndawson (Sep 08, 2008 10:42 pm) nvbanker (Sep 12, 2008 9:52 am)

Replying to: rgurta (Aug 26, 2008 6:59 am) Flex offers the largest interior volume of any vehicle in the class, 175.8 cu.ft. And loaded up with seven people, there's 20 cu ft. of cargo space—about three more cubic feet than the trunk of a Taurus sedan. All the seats except the driver's fold flat, so you can carry stuff that's almost 10 ft. long. ---------- rohn internet marketing

#8 of 47 Test Drive of Flex by kkrause Oct 05, 2008 (7:21 am)
My wife and I drove a Flex yesterday and were very impressed with it overall. The seats were very comfortable. I'm tall so didn't have a problem with the headrest location. (By the way, the headrests are where they are for safety ... to prevent whiplash. To but them in backwards is a bit risky in the event of a rear-end collision.)   Both my wife and I thought the ride quality was excellent and the overall interior space was very good; not quite as good as most minivans but close. The power was also quite good ... it seemed better than both the Highlander and Sienna we had driven earlier in the day.   We're still not sure if we are going to purchase a vehicle before the end of the year or not, but if we do the Flex will definitely be a consideration.

#10 of 47 The flex is a hit, I guess..... by nvbanker Oct 27, 2008 (8:46 am)
Personally, I don't like the name, but according to BON, "The national marketing launch for the Ford Flex crossover and Lincoln MKS sedan began in September. Both new products have steadily increased their share of segment. The Ford Flex has the highest conquest rate of any Ford product (except for Escape Hybrid), and also is attracting the highest rate of premium and import buyers. The Lincoln MKS ranks third in the mid-size luxury car segment behind only the BMW 5-Series and the Mercedes Benz E-Class."   Replies to this message: cmuniz (Oct 28, 2008 3:49 am) hondaneed (Oct 29, 2008 4:23 pm) caliberchic (Oct 31, 2008 4:05 am)

Replying to: nvbanker (Oct 27, 2008 8:46 am) Last Saturday night we went out to dinner at the Southlake Town Center near Dallas, Tx and Ford had a crew of people and several Flex vehicles promoting the Flex out on the streets. They were demonstrating all the features, letting people sit in them and encouraging the filling out of a survey. Ford seems to be marketing this vehicle a lot more aggressive than they did the Taurus X or Freestyle. Replies to this message: hondaneed (Oct 29, 2008 4:23 pm) caliberchic (Oct 31, 2008 4:05 am)

Replying to: cmuniz (Oct 28, 2008 3:49 am) Where are they on the road? Where are you getting your figures from. I do NOT believe it. They are sitting in the dealers lots. Some dealers have dozens in the back storage lot. They have most of the beginning inventory from July....   Bad marketing strategy in my opinion - Don't you see cars on the road and then say I want to have one of those. It is not so with the Flex. The vehicle is finally good and they took the wrong stategy!   Maybe they should have cut some sweet lease deals in the beginning instead of spending so much advertising during NFL games! How many millions on ads where spent? They could have used this for launching the vehicle in the Summer. Replies to this message: caliberchic (Oct 31, 2008 4:05 am)

Replying to: hondaneed (Oct 29, 2008 4:23 pm) I've yet to see one on the road as well. The Dodge Caliber was like that at first and now I see them everywhere...and cringe.
