Say the word minivan, and the hair on the back of the necks of many drivers stands up with fear. For people concerned with their image, there is nothing worse than rolling around in a homely mommy mobile, no matter how practical they are.
Well, Ford understands this phobea, and is offering up a cure in the form of an all new crossover called the Flex. Its built to deliver the things families need, in a package that definitely stands out from the crowd. Lets take a closer look. Check out more on http://www.myride.com/?id=31123

Fact if a family ... ( 1 week ago by Trigun075)
Fact if a family isnt rich then why the hell will they get a mercedes. This car was made so a family with low money can go out and buy this car.
Are you kidding me? ... ( 1 week ago by blueskysiii)
Are you kidding me? A family with low money won't be able to afford this either. I priced a stripped down Flex on the Ford web site, and for a 60 month lease (the cheapest option), the monthly price thru Ford Motor Credit was $658! This is what happens when you run an American made vehicle through finance department calculations...the low residual values kill the affordability.
Maybe Roger, Alan ... ( 1 week ago by blueskysiii)
Maybe Roger, Alan and Bob should car-pool in one of these things when they bring their bailout plan back to the Senate on December 2nd. I read that the Big 3 are hoping for the UAW to make inroads into the Asian manufacturers with the new legislation the will make it easier to get union votes established...If that isn't the lamest plan I've ever heard, I don't know what is. The Asian and European manufacturers making cars in the US pay a very fair wage, and the Unions won't succeed.

no fucking shit u dumbass that is a MERCEDEZ. this is a FORD. last time i checked they weren't anywhere near on the same level or price range. thats like going "DUDE CHEVROLETTE SUCKS GET A FUCKING LAMBORGHINI"
and i think this car looks pretty ill..
Yeah, he probably ... ( 1 week ago by cubedtothex)
Yeah, he probably has a cold...oh well.
That's to be ... ( 1 week ago by th3ha1og0d)
That's to be expected. You're comparing a Ford to a Mercedes, and even then R class is poor value for the money. Plus, this Flex has some cool interior features.
IT LOOKS LIKE A ... ( 1 week ago by SepticProductions)
IT LOOKS LIKE A FUCKING GILLETTE RAZOR BLADE! since its release i have not seen one of those on the road only in dealerships
Ugly. yeah it looks ... ( 1 week ago by yohanz5)
Ugly. yeah it looks like gillette razor

well getting a longer lease has more expense Duh
how does it have ... ( 6 days ago by josher67)
how does it have poor value ?.. Huh?.. has more power leather is standard standard navigation screen 6.5" full size captain chairs. better safety
How many Mercedes ... ( 6 days ago by th3ha1og0d)
How many Mercedes Benz R class vehicles do you see on the road? Not many at all. You can get a loaded minivan for half the price. It's poor value for the money.
Just to let you ... ( 6 days ago by th3ha1og0d)
Just to let you know the R320 is only 215 hp...which is less than this Flex.
well i dont know ... ( 6 days ago by josher67)
well i dont know where you live but where i livein cali ther es quite a few you see like one every two blocks in a value test for 2009/2008 it was 4.9/5.0
flex has 262HP ... ( 6 days ago by josher67)
flex has 262HP While the r350 has 268
While the lower ... ( 6 days ago by th3ha1og0d)
While the lower model r320 CDI has 215hp but still costs a lot more. Even if you want to compare the r350 it still only has 6hp. Besides, the Flex is a faster vehicle anyways, compared to v6 versions of the R-Class.
There are much ... ( 6 days ago by th3ha1og0d)
There are much better vehicles to be had for the money
uh...sorry to break ... ( 6 days ago by blueskysiii)
uh...sorry to break it to you, but the longer the lease, the smaller the payment; not the opposite as you explain. That's because the residual value plummets most right after you drive it of the lot. the downward slope of the vehicle trade-in value tends to decelerate. Easy to confirm by going to any auto web and posting numbers into their online calculator. The high price is reflective of both the immediate, and historical drops in resale value that the US oems have.
Go to a dealership ... ( 6 days ago by blueskysiii)
Go to a dealership (call first to make sure they even have one on display...from the sales numbers, apparently not all dealers are buying even one). Sit in the Flex and try to envision a long distance drive with the awkward headrest forcing your head downward at an odd angle. Try to envision how sore your butt will be sitting on that hard soy foam seat cushion. If you're 6 ft tall, try to imagine how sore your back will be after leaning fwd to reach the non-telescopic str. wheel? Poor design D-
simple. the price ... ( 4 days ago by blueskysiii)
simple. the price is too high. Even the motor trend article mentioned that the leather is weak, and that the normal nice leather smell is absent. Power is low for a vehicle this heavy. Maybe the nav is okay, but why does Ford only give 6 mos. of Sirius XM sat radio, compared with the asians 1 year....it's stuff like that that kills it for people that really WANt for to succeed....Ya know? Ya gotta TRY! I just don't see it!
Normally I would ... ( 2 days ago by blueskysiii)
Normally I would agree with you, only in this classic case, the Mercedes will have a very favourable lease price when compared with this shit stick Ford. The rock bottom super low residuals on the F-bomb will actually make the Mercedes look good.
thats cool, i still ... ( 2 days ago by bearblaster420)
thats cool, i still personally think this car looks pretty sexy.
I don't argue that ... ( 2 days ago by blueskysiii)
I don't argue that point. I say again, (as I have contended throughout these posts that no one reads) that this would be a wonderful car if it started out at 20K, like it should have to begin with. Ford would be running their Ontario plant at full speed, and the Versa and the Forester and all the other smaller CUVs would be eating dirt. But nope. Ford wants to pretend they are at parity, and they think the Flex is close enough to the F-sereis to charge a stupid premium...So they paid the price!
