Ford Flex a comin'!

It’s not like there is pacing up and down the polished floor of the showroom with groups of people looking a lot like expectant fathers, sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles, and grandparents. No, there are no scenes like that, but the anticipation of the new 2009 Ford Flex arriving soon is actually growing pretty strong.

When the Flex hits the Ricart Ford showroom in a few weeks, families will see a vehicle designed with them in mind. As a matter of fact, anyone who needs to move five or six people comfortably will be finding that someone has finally designed and built a vehicle for them that isn’t a mini-van (ick) or have an armored personnel carrier as its kissing cousin!

To be sure, the new Flex is large enough to take the family to church in one trip, but you’ll be surprised that it doesn’t look, or maybe more importantly, feel like you are cruising on the Queen Mary… far from it! As a matter of fact, Edward Loh of Motor Trend said, “…the Flex manages to look long, wide, and low at the same time. It’s not fat or ungainly though.”

The 2009 Ford Flex boasts more third row seat space than the Mazda CX9, the 2008 winner for most rear seat roominess which should avoid fights over who is going to sit in the “way back”, a point which will become extremely obvious once you sit back there. Oh, and while you are there, check out the view. Yes, that is stadium seating in the Flex which allows you to see all around, including through the windshield for a great view of the road ahead. And speaking of views, you can get the Flex with moon roofs for the middle and rear seats which give it an expansive feel, open but still cozy.

Cozy is a great way to describe the way the amenities for the Ford Flex work together in a logical manner to afford comfort and convenience to all, from an available cooler chest in the combination console to the Sync navigation/audio system for hands free phone use, music, sports updates, directions and more. The Flex is cozy and cool.

If you have ever tried to describe love to somebody, then you know how hard it is to explain… and that’s a lot like trying to talk about a segment shattering vehicle like the 2009 Ford Flex before anyone has the chance to really get inside it and drive it around… but once you do get in and drive one it’s almost a certainty you’ll love it, and then it’s your turn to describe Flex to your friends.
