Timing is everything, and Ford Motor Co. has a poor track record when it comes to launching a vehicle that is aligned with market conditions.

But the auto maker got it right this time, launching the 7-seat Flex cross/utility vehicle just as consumers are looking for utility but not from thirsty SUVs and pickups.

During a test drive here, the funky-looking Flex turned the heads of normally jaded New Yorkers with its unusual styling that looks to be a cross between a Land Rover and Mini....

....Unlike most CUVs that boast seating for seven, the Flex actually delivers with a third row that can accommodate a 6-ft. (2-m) tall passenger comfortably.

The interior is chocked full of nifty gadgets, including a refrigerator with a freezer option and a large sunroof up front, plus four skylights – two each over the second and third rows – providing an open, airy feeling.

The Flex boasts one of Ford’s most attractive interiors and is proves the auto maker is paying attention to the details that customers notice, including plenty of cupholders and storage bins.

The auto maker says its new CUV has one of the quietest rides in the sector, besting the Acura MDX, Toyota Highlander and GMC Acadia.
