This car is very nice. Too bad it only comes in leather and they suggest premium fuel. They say you can use regular fuel but lose either HP or MPG or both.
I was on the fence about getting one but really don't want leather at all and don't want to lose HP or MPG especially since it is a guess as to how much loss this is since they don't post any specs for how it does running regular unleaded.
Crossovers are tall? I wouldn't say that. You definitely sit down into a Flex, a Venza, a Crosstour, etc, as opposed to climbing UP as you do in a SUV. And considering most are built off of some variant of a car's chassis, I would say they lean more towards a car than a truck/SUV.

They may lack the off-road capabilities of an SUV, but cross-overs are definitely not the same wagons. Also, they are taller, and rather ugly.

Cross-over (Height=63.4 in):
Wagon (Height=56 in):
Cross-over (Height=68 in):
Wagon (Height=56.5 in):
I much prefer the car-like wagons.
You are right....most crossovers, and especially the Venza, are definitely not wagons...very very ugly....The ford flex looks nice imo, but it's not suited for a single guy like me

Compared to a Volvo or an old LTD? Really? Wrong wagon and it might be creep city. Just sayin'

Hey, If you get one (Flex) let me know. I really want to make a "casket" vehicle wrap for a Ford Flex. The Milk Carton design and embossed ridges make it PERFECT for a Casket wrap. Use a Bouquet 'Spray" of Flowers for the window area (or a 'raised lid' w/ Grandpa Munster inside)
Some gold leaf casket handles, and a Flex could be "Really Badd"
I would even do Free Advertising for a Funeral Co-op
In the meantime, I'm looking for a totaled Flex to rebuild and 'wrap'.
