Ford left the minivan segment bloodied and battered thanks to a vehicle that failed to keep pace with the competition, leaving the Freestyle (now Taurus X), as the only three-row family crossover on Ford lots. That car, while a decent driver and with a new powertrain, has not been able to overcome its vanilla styling. For now, it’s still on sale, and will be joined by the Flex, which is built on the same platform, seats seven and looks far more stylish. If the Flex is a success, Ford will be able to point to their decision to leave the minivan segment as a “Bold Move.” If not, it’s just another failed vehicle soon to be found on rental lots at your local airport.
