Just like the Escape looks like a jacked up Focus... this looks like a jacked up Taurus. Thats not necessarily a bad thing, i was just hoping for more.
I like very much what the designers at Ford are doing with character lines. Sculpting bodies is not easy but when done right it gives much presence and stance to a design which is one of the things that American cars lacked of for so many decades.
The call them "chracater" lines for a reason.
I really like what I see and can't wait to see what they did with the MKX

I was reviewing the presentation to the Deutsche Bank that BORG linked and as per slide #23 it seems to me that the Flex may live to see a second generation.
The slide shows the c/D platform products: Fusion, Mondeo and Mondeo State and then 3 blacked out future products which I believe are the Edge seen elsewhere in the presentation, the Taurus and what could the third be? Only a Flex right?

For 2015 the Edge is expected to drop the 3.5 V6 entirely. It will have the Ecoboost 2.0T standard with either FWD or AWD. If you want a V6 you will probably have to step-up to the redesigned Lincoln MKX which is also due to be in showrooms next year.
Because of the MKX's high starting price, I'm going to take a guess that it will retain a V6 (either NA or a new Nano Ecoboost application) as standard equipment.

yeah, it looks like it would load/save for me now too
(too big to bother - TY for saving me the anguish)
guess we didn't try until they'd temporarily pulled it
I HAD brought up the html version from google earlier
but that has no graphics and even the "text" used graphics judging from the blanks
However, one thing I noticed was on page/slide 39
if nothing got distorted, there are "appeal" comparos by Brand betwn 2011 & 2012.
They all went up...and tho Ford was highest in both years (per them)
the amounts of increase are what's more interesting to me
+.37 Honda
+.36 GM
+.34 Fiat
+.26 Nissan
+.17 Hyundai
+.10 Ford
+.02 Toyota
around Page 67 is some Lincoln stuff (I'm still catching up)
&
on my screen the html version *seems* to indicate the MKS getting a "TRANSFORMATION" for 2013
