If Ford hopes to sell these things in decent numbers in Canada, they'd better hope the CDN dollar abd the US dollar stay relatively even and they refrain from price gouging <_<

The Taurus X, well I am sure you ahve been in a Freestyle, so you know the size.
The Flex.........it's about the size of a Suburban.  Its friggin huge compared to the Taurus X.

And as a side note, I was speaking with one of the bosses today about when a decision was going to be made about the continuance/cancellation of our shift.  The big question up in the air right now is the decision on where to place the production of the Lincoln equivalent to the Ford Flex.  We had thought that Chicago was going to be building it, but apparently maybe not.  It may be coming to Oakville instead and that would mean come March or later in 2008 my shift would become the Friday Saturday Sunday shift.

This is not a mini VUE!

It is a large vehicle people. I am almost certain that it is bigger than the Windstar/Freestar and it is Ford's answer to getting out of the minivan market and into a bigger vehicle.
I was sceptical of this vehicle until I saw it in person. It is quite nice. But BIG

I'm waiting for when noone is watching so I can check out the rear seats    ;)

If the ZTW was written off today, the Flex would probably be our replacement but I'd want to upgrade latter to the 400+ hp twin-force model.
