AMAG - "I’m worried about the Ford Flex.

I’ve been a fan of this car ever since it first appeared in concept form, as the Fairlane, at the 2005 Detroit auto show."


Everyone loves the Ford Flex for its stretchy and spacious design. However, sales numbers show that the new Honda Pilot and the Chevrolet Traverse outsell the Flex by almost 3-to-1.

In-house competition is also an issue--like the all-new "cheaper" 2011 Ford Explorer. Ford continues to add features such as the an optional Ecoboost V6 engine, but even that's pricey. So Ford's new idea is the 2011 Flex Titanium edition that comes with a blacked-out trim and roof, aiming at the same hip crowd as before. Titanium editions are more expensive than the Limited, and with all the extra options it can run as much as $50,000.

All-in-all the Titanium probably won't be saving the Flex, but it still remains our choice over the Explorer.
