Extreme4x4 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Wow, then the Flex is spectacularly successful. After all, it is well over the 2000 sales per month, threshhold of success and failure. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BORG Posted September 21, 2011 Author Share Posted September 21, 2011 Average transaction price for Flex is around $35K to $40K,, it also got around 2,800 sales last moth... I need a source on that to be convinced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpd80 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 I need a source on that to be convinced. It's been said enough times and links shown in the past, Flex numbers have been talked to death, Frankly, I can't be bothered proving water is a liquid anymore......

twintornados Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 It's not about the monotony. It's about the lack of personality. Seems the only vehicle Ford is interested at all in giving a unique personality is the Mustang. Well....you could always break out the JC Whitney catalog for some snappy seatcovers, shag carpet dash pads, and Light up "Hello Kitty" dolls for the package shelf that blinks its eyes when you hit the brakes or turn a corner...

rmc523 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Pretty sure that interior pic was posted awhile back, but I'm too lazy to check Yeah I think it was - I've seen it before (unless it was at a different forum, which is certainly a possibility).

Hugh Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 (edited) Looks good. I am going to miss the twin gauge IP from the last gen. That was really classy. The NAV was easy to use but the wood in the steering wheel got annoying after a while. I'm not a big fan of the single gauge/twin screens in this MFT compared to the one in the Focus. The single looks like a carry-over from the Fusion Hybrid IP. Edited September 22, 2011 by Hugh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ausrutherford Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I need a source on that to be convinced. Flex retail average price has been talked by Ford reps off the record to lots of times. It is very high though with the average model being a loaded SEL.

bobbyd Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I REALLY THOUGHT FORD WOULD HAVE CHANGED THE FRONT GRILL FOR 2013...OTHER THAN ONLY ON THE HIGH PRICE TITANIUM MODEL. THE FLEX IS A BEAUTIFUL VEHICLE BUT THE CAR HAS BEEN THE SAME FOR MANY YEARS, ACTUALLY SINCE ITS INTRO. PEOPLE WANT TO DISTINGUISH THEIR VEHICLE FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR, YET THE 2013 FLEX IS BASICALLY THE SAME..OTHER THAN THE TITANIUM. WE COULD SELL A LOT MORE IF THEY WOULD MAKE THE SE/SEL BASE MODELS LOOK LIKE THE TITANIUM... ! AFTER ALL, I WILL BET THE TITANIUM DOES NOT HAVE THE SALES FIGURES OF THE THE SE/SEL SERIES.

sullynd Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Yeah, but people who type IN ALL CAPS just don't see the world in the same way normal people do. In fairness, the gallery shows shots of the current FLEX with no indication that they are not the 2013 model. I assume the poster mistook the stock photos for images of the 2013.

It is very high though with the average model being a loaded SEL. Yeah, that is what i meant but felt that ATPs were actually quantified in an article last year but could be wrong. Flex is a niche product, small yet highly profitable sales for a vehicle on a platform shared with Taurus and Explorer as well as MKS and MKT and of course the upcoming police vehicles.....that must be well over 20,000/mth combined.

V8-X Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 (edited) I'm sure you feel that this is the pinnacle of gauge and steering wheel design: :rolleyes: Personally, the gauges and wheel look better in the photo you provided, than what is on displayed in the 2013 Flex images. Simply not a fan of that wheel and that gauge design. Either way, the current Flex interior looks better than the Escape interior you provided above. I'm not a big fan of the single gauge/twin screens in this MFT compared to the one in the Focus. The single looks like a carry-over from the Fusion Hybrid IP. Agreed.

The new Flex interior looks very similar to the one in my Edge. I've gotten nothing but compliments from every person who has been inside it. :shrug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
