The Ford Flex is a full-size crossover manufactured by Ford Motor Company. Its styling is based on the Ford Fairlane concept unveiled at the 2005 North American International Auto Show. The production vehicle made its debut at the 2007 New York International Auto Show. Sales of the Flex began in summer of 2008 as a 2009 model. The Flex is produced on the same assembly line as the Edge and Lincoln MKX crossovers at the Oakville Assembly Plant in Oakville, Ontario, where the first Flex was driven off the line at the beginning of June 2008. It replaced the Ford Freestar minivan and therefore is the first crossover to feature both minivan and SUV properties delivered by Ford. In addition, it also replaced the similar Taurus X. The Flex is sold only in the United States, Canada and in the Middle East.

FOR PRICING & SPECS ON THIS CAR VISIT: www.kbb.com 2009 Ford Flex. It takes decades of experience and more than a few T-Squares to make a rolling box look hip, but thats exactly the trick Ford has pulled off with its seven-passenger Flex crossover SUV. Set to do battle with such heavyweights as the Chevrolet Traverse and Honda Pilot, the Flex manages to match, and in some cases exceed, its rivals in the all important areas of comfort, utility and desirability. But the best thing about the Flex isnt its flexible interior, nor is it the respectable gas mileage. The best thing about the Flex is that its cool. Really cool. From its contrasting painted roof to its built in refrigerator, the Flex is destined to become the 21st century equivalent of the customized van.

Jay Ward talks about how to use Active Park Assist on the 2010 Ford Flex. The 2010 Ford Flex will feature Active Park Assist, which uses an ultrasonic-based sensing system and Electric Power Assisted Steering to position the vehicle for parallel parking, calculate the optimal steering angle and quickly steer the vehicle into a parking spot. This technology is superior to the camera-reliant systems offered by competitors.

John Hone of Team Baldman and Team Maxxsonics demos his Ford F350 for us at the Car Audio Showdown. This crazy bandpass design features 16 MB Quart Premium PWH302 12's and a single Hifonics XXV Cyclops 4000wrms amp. The lows in this truck are absolutely insane for only using 4000 watts! The flex in the panels and excursion of the subs is pretty impressive! Hair tricks would be no problem. www.hifonicsusa.com http Powered by Maxxsonics MB Quart Hifonics Crunch Autotek

www.edmunds.com "Urban automotive enthusiasts?" says Newport Nancy with an air of confusion in her voice. "Hell, I'd drive that." And just like that it occurred to us that in addition to the urban automotive enthusiasts that Ford plans to reach with the 2008 Ford Expedition Funkmaster Flex Edition, there's likely another undiscovered market for just such a vehicle: the women of Orange County, California.
