something with looks. I know I'll probably get crap from others for saying that, but it is ugly as sin IMO. It looks like a stretched xB. It's got functionality, I'll give it that, but good grief its not a particularly mesmerizing sight.

The new SHO has the same problem, it's way too big and ugly as sin. Thats the worst rear end on a car since the Aztec. The Fusion woulda been the perfect SHO successor.

The Gorilla is the worst, please Ford don't mass produce this thing.

Somehow, I don't think they'll listen to someone who wouldn't buy that type of vehicle anyway tell them not to build it...

Well said Typhoon, and those are good sources. That being said, they still uphold themselves as boxy-butt-ugly vehicles in my opinion. As for the Scion complainer, perhaps he doesn't remain conscious of tire pressure and/or properly maintain his vehicle.

Thanks. To you it's butt ugly boxy, to me it's funky and different, but to each his own. I have to say, I was even surprised Ford pulled off such a low Cd in the Flex, not only because it's boxy, but because of it's very large frontal area, which plays a larger role in Cd than almost any other factor.

One other thing about the Scion comment, I don't mean to doubt your friend and he may not properly maintain it, but I was also thinking it could just be that because he only has about 100hp on tap and if he was used to having power in previous vehicles, maybe he's trying to compensate by flooring it everywhere. Just a thought.

Just stopped at Golf Mill Ford today to let my son see the SHO live, the wife got a SHO ride yesterday and likes it, in Silver. hmmmmm Red and White SHO's on the lot, and a Flex. Wife doesn't like the Flex, but cursed minivans untill her 5'6" frame drove one and now loves it. 11 yr. old son loves it, wants dual exhaust on it, does the ecoboost Flex have dual?
I say it serves a purpose, keeps the sode pop cold, and does the 1/4 in the same time as the best stock gen II SHO posted here, Ryan Pasch, 94 Opal Frost.
