The all-new 2009 .
The Flex utilizes a contemporary design that the company labels as “polarizing.” So polarizing, in fact, that Ford is not predicting sales metrics or defining a profile for the Flex target buyer.
“Flex is a radical departure,” said Peter Horbury, Ford’s executive director, Design, The Americas. “At first we were uncomfortable with the way Flex could polarize, but its ability to compel an opinion, good or bad, was fascinating. It inspired us forward with courage to create a breakthrough design.”
Technological Features:
The 2009 Ford Flex includes the (which now has 911 Assist and Vehicle Health Reports), voice activated navigation, Sirius Satellite Radio and Sirius Travel Link.
Sirius Travel Link will provide users with a suite of data services including real-time traffic, coast-to-coast weather conditions and fuel price information for over 120,000 gas stations - all on an 8-inch touchscreen display.
Meanwhile, Sirius Satellite Radio is heard through a 700-watt, 10-speaker Sony audio system with 5.1 surround sound. Ford’s voice-activated navigation allows for voice control of the entire system including GPS destination entry, climate controls, Sirius Travel Link, and Sirius Satellite Radio.
The Flex goes on sale this summer and will be on display at the 2008 New York International Auto Show.
