I saw it reviewed on some auto show on TV yesterday morning.

It's a pretty nice vehicle inside and out. But maxed out with options it's over $45,000.

I've had the opportunity to drive the vehicle. Very...very nice!!! Price ranges from about $28,000 to over $45,000!!! Might be the right vehicle at the wrong time given the cost of gas!!!

The are nice but sooooooo tiny. Me being 6'5 I feel was to big in it even though it had tons of leg room, but for someone who has kids and needs the extra seating but wants a smaller car its great!!!

You certainly got that right! I went by my Ford dealership about 8:00 p.m. tonight. They have one in stock that I could find, a light blue one. It was sitting on the showrroom floor. Reminds me of an early model Chrsyler minivan with a lowered roofline. Even so, it is attractive. Just very small when compared to an Excursion.

But............. if you print out the ad and present it to Dave Wilson you will receive a $50 Outback Steak House gift card with purchase.
You must buy from Dave Wilson to get this special offer!

Rated at 4100 lbs towing. 5 to 600 lbs better than minivans and the crossovers.

They call it the flex because they have to bend you over at that price. I guess this is a PERFECT example of supply and demand.

I think it was the ad I saw that said it got 24 MPG. I can not justify spending $45,000 for one. Maybe waiting a few years and picking one up for $15,000.

Good gravy Tiff, you're 6'5"????

How tall is your hubby???

I don't think I've ever seen a 6'5" lady that wasn't on TV, with a basketball in her hands!
