I sell all Ford products, and the one thing I hear more than anything else is "That thing is UGLY!" But I get the occasional "It looks awesome! Like an old Woody wagon".
Once I put someone in the driver seat for a demo, any complaints about the outside looks goes away... Immediately. It is the nicest riding Ford I have ever been in... Period. And I drive all their new products, everyday.
Another shocker? Even the little Focus rides better than most of the competition. It surprises most any shopper that has come from the import lots.
We currently have ZERO Flex's on our lot. Hope to get more in soon! Sold the last 4 within two weeks, and we are not the biggest dealer around.
