BY KEITH GRIFFIN

As I write this I am sitting in Las Vegas on a media program for the Scion FR-S. The reason I mention that is I was brought from the airport with another journalist in a Lincoln Town Car. I bring this this because I asked the driver, “What are you going to do when the Lincoln Town Car goes away?” (It has ceased production.) He didn’t have an answer but I think I do: the 2013 Ford Flex. I’m sure that’s going to make the proud designers of the Flex shudder. After all, they don’t build cars for people to be driven in; they build cars to be driven. But I consider it a high compliment. The 2013 Ford Flex is a near-perfect family vehicle that could also double as an executive car or a small airport shuttle. (Hmm, maybe if this journal- ism thing doesn’t work out I could open an airport shuttle.) The seven-passenger, three-row crossover – which debuted last fall at the Los Angeles Auto Show – comes equipped with the new generation of MyFord Touch, industry-exclusive rear inflatable belts, collision-avoid- ance technologies, rain-sensing wipers, keyless entry, first-row heated and cooled seats, power-fold mirrors and an optional new Appearance The 2013 Ford Flex gets a new front end and other styling updates but where it really continues to hit a home run is in its interior that is stylish, comfortable and Package.
