Ford has been tearing it up with all sorts of quality ratings in recent years, at times surpassing Toyota and even Honda, yet the preconceived and unfounded notion that they are lesser cars still remains.

The Flex is a good vehicle. Yes, the MSRP is pretty high, but do you know what you can walk out of a dealership paying for one of those right now? My guess is thousands less than MSRP, maybe even close to $10K less. Ford needs to move those vehicles and you can get a VERY good deal right now. With the money you save, you can buy gas for years.
