Ford Flex -- Art Deco on wheels


Recommended Posts

......The first impression is one of linear mass: the hood, roof, sides and tailgate are slabs, big smooth expanses of steel little relieved by any sort of sweep or decor -- there are thin indented lines on the doors, and they simply give a little surcease to that relentless sweep of metal. There's a strong Art Deco feel about the car's body, a retro feel, and the horizontal metal accents that sweep clear across the tailgate make it look like one of those old 1950s toasters (and, to the BMW motorcycle crowd, maybe even like the old chrome-paneled "toaster" gas tanks on the bikes of the early 1970s.)

 

All of this is capped by another striking design feature -- with its optional white or silver-painted roof, over the darker body color, it looks like a big, four-door version of a Mini Cooper. Enough on the looks; what about the rest of it?............
