I saw one of these on the Southfield (M-39) and it looks MUCH smaller than the Flex. They did a great job of making those two look different. good job on that Ford. Also, the interior looks like the mkS.

And Thank God, it has a genuine vista roof, unlike the Flex. Looking very good, although I think the TF was replaced by EB....perhaps this is a moniker that will still be used by Lincoln. *******!

You're fat, uh man you're sooo fat, you're the fat cow, you're the fat cow love, you're the fatty-fatty boom-boom!


The much more likeable, yet still controversially-styled Flex is reportedly a slow mover (pun quite intended), how about that one, costing a lot more? If it looks anything like the concept, my prediction is that Lincoln Mark LT will be though of as a relative success.

Yeah that giant TF logo on the hood was a surprise, I thought Ford was set on EcoBoost even though everyone likeed and respected TwinForce better. I think they can use "Eco" on Fords to promote a fuel savings and obviously ise the same engine in Lincoln but have the cooler TwinForce moniker.

I did see that article on LLN about Flex sales being worse every month since it went on sale 4 months ago. I do blame Ford a little for making it look controversal, but Ford needs something not bland for once. It needs to be set apart from the lambdas and also the economic climate for large CUVs esp. ones that stand out alot are probablly in the crapper.

The interior looks really nice, except we've already seen the amazing MKT Concept interior. :( The MKT concept was truly exceptional. I'll have to see how the production one lives up to it. ;)

Seeing how Flex sales are tanking, I don't see a more expensive version selling any better. If Ford sells 1000 of these a month I'd be shocked.

To me this thing doesn't look much bigger than Lincoln's own MKX. And like someone said the Ford Flex sales are a flop and I don't see this selling any better if anything I think it will sell much worse. Also I see the same trend happening now that happened in the 90's except this time it's CUV's instead of SUV's. I think Ford and GM are focusing way too much on these types of vehicles.

The Flex is gigantic.

Actual fuel-economy aside, just seeing the Flex in person is enough to send buyers running out of the dealership.

Maybe Ford should make a SWB Flex...
they do, its the edge. Its just a matter of personal style choices. I really dont know how future sales will pan out.

I watched the whole thing even though I have it on DVD. Any opportunity to avert my eyes was a bonus. Thanks bravada :D
