I thought we said 48k was for the ford flex?

I just sharted. That thing looks amazing if that is production trim.
That's the Sport production trim. Here's more info/pics on Ford's website

With the long list of standard equipment I won't be surprised to see the sport in the $40k's. I don't have as much of a problem with that with this model as I did with the previous model. Mainly because you're getting your money's worth.

And with all the buzz about ford's quality going up, I think they can start charging people what a quality car costs. I'm sure label whores won't be happy with that because it's "just a ford"
I like the flex, but it's still not a Cayenne, the price is fairly similar though.
Dissent: Looks like a plow truck. The front end must push enough air in front of it to get compression shock. What ever happened to aerodynamics instead of macho trucker grilles?
I was just saying this in dinner table convo like a week ago. All the trouble to get engines more efficient and the new designs have the drag coefficient of tank. Think how good mileage would be if today's tech was in the smoother designs of the nineties.

I remember the 90s looking more wedge shaped than smooth.

I ROCK at bumper cars!
Today's "blocky" shapes are surprisingly efficient. Don't think they no longer use wind tunnels to tweak and refine the shapes.

They probably use them twice as much as they used to so they can make the designs look "cool" but still be as efficient as possible for the free mileage.

In the nineties most cars were very well designed for aero, very smooth lines, softly contoured edges etc. In 2000, the lines started getting very sharp again, and the cars started getting much heavier, except the mustang, that one got fat in 94 lol.

You would be surprised how aerodynamic many of these vehicles are. Smooth curves dont necessarily mean aero, that was just the style for the 90s.... Remember, a prius has one of the lowest drag coefficients of vehicles on the road, and that is certainly a bulgy sharp design.

They need to get cracking on the air injection systems to make cars more slippery while still being tough looking.

Looks cool, gotta have the Ecoboost though.
And WTF is a 'toaster car'?

The performance package on the SHO is $995, very good value IMO. I think the base is $37,995.Isn't 38k the SHO base price which doesn't get you much? Pathetic you have to pay a ton more $$ to even get a handling package in a SHO. I would never pay $48k for a baseline small crossover SUV.

Probably the shape of the vehicle. I like them personally.
