Ford Flex Spy Photos

Pre-production prototype in Detroit

We saw the Flex Concept at the New York Auto Show earlier this year, and now we're seeing early pre-production versions driving all over Detroit! Since these all appear to be showroom ready, we wonder if this is a low-key PR move. The production version of Ford's all-new Flex won't arrive until the 2009 model year, although it will likely be an early entry in the 09 line-up. A two-tone version like the NY concept (with a similar look to the Mini and Toyota FJ) with a white roof will be offered, as well as a traditional monotone paint scheme as shown here all in white. In addition, the Flex will also offer an optional glass-roof version consisting of four separate "skylights". The Flex will come standard as a front-wheel drive SUV, with an all-wheel drive option available. Power is expected to come from a 3.5-liter V6 with a minimum of 260-horsepower. A hybrid is expected to arrive a bit later. Look for the Flex to arrive in dealerships during the first or second quarter of 2008.

I don't know.. Perhaps if I was into SUVs I would like it..

I'm all set with SUVs and Minivans excluding the Mazda5. This looks like a Scion Xb.

Absolutely horrendous. I'm telling you, lately the american car companies have produce garbage in terms of style. I have no idea who buys them or why they sell..

Really ford.. who the hell is going to buy this piece of crap, especially since it will have a nearly 30k pricetag.

I hate this look even more than I hate the look of the Caliber SRT and that is saying a lot.

[Talbot]

Haha, yeah it looks like a limo version of the xB.

 

[clicknext]

lol, I can't tell if it's huge, or tiny. But knowing Ford, of course it's huge.

 

[altspace]

Yup....a beefy xB.

 

[Kosh]

X2, just longer. Not bad looking, but I think I would buy something else.

Am I the only one that somewhat likes the styling? I think it's kinda cool looking, but I think it would have been better to make it smaller. It has proportions like the Jeep Commander and they look goofy as well.
