Best Friend just bought EcoBoost Ford Flex Limited!
« on: September 21, 2010, 06:18:05 pm »
He just sent me a pic...just got home with his new EcoBoost Flex Limited.  Loaded.  Pearl Paint.  20" wheels. 

How fast is my Supra?  I sh*t on Cessnas from a roll....

Still looks like a hearse with roll-up doors.

Exactly!  That's what makes them cool.

Nice wheels...although it must hurt the handling given there so much unsprung weight.
If it flies, floats or f#%&s...rent it.

I had one as a rental. Very, very nice vehicle. Quiet, nice interior with tonnes of space. Ecoboost engine and very good ride/handling mean the old girl can really pick up her skirts and dance when she wants to.

Friend of mine has two of these with the EcoBoost engine in his business for moving ppl and stuff around. He claims the thing will really go, and I believe him..!!

Cool ride!  I really like the Flex, in a quirky kinda way.  I haven't driven the ecoboost, but I am sure it can really go when it wants to.

Sounds like a decent vehicle but the looks just don't do anything for me.  ::)

You're just kidding, right?

Looks great! I bet he'll love the EcoBoost... Makes me want a Ford of some sort in the future just for the potential of these engines.
