Exterior - What the Auto Press Says

The all-new Flex is widely praised for its unique retro styling. Standout features include a two-tone roof, grooved door panels, and a three-bar chrome grille.

• "While it's certainly retrogressive in theme, the Flex is also fresh and forward looking." -- New Car Test Drive
• "Inconspicuous the Flex is not. Instead it shouts, 'Look at me.' This starts with the large, square hood and a grille featuring three wide horizontal chrome bars. (To some the Flex might even say, 'Don't mess with me.')" -- AutoMedia.com
• "It's not the most badass vehicle on the road, but when compared to the rather bland competition, at least it will turn heads -- that is, until there's one at every supermarket, movie theater, and fast food joint. And this leads us to an important question: how will this look stand the test of time?" -- Left Lane News
• "This vehicle is totally unique in a sea of 'me too' crossover vehicles. The two-box shape and unique exterior design details give us a modern interpretation of the classic 'woody' wagon." -- GayWheels.com
• "This is a vehicle whose looks we get excited about. A nearly perfect doppelgänger for the Fairlane concept shown at the Detroit show in 2005, the Flex sits ramrod upright, with four strakes along its flanks, tinted glass all around, and a body-color top or a Mini-esque contrasting top that will be available in white or silver." -- Car and Driver
• "The Flex's packaging is hard not to like. That doesn't mean you'll love the styling (it's polarizing by design), but it's hard to fault the spacial efficiencies won by the vehicle's squared-off shape. How does one get angry at a rectangle? We are in the 'Don't Mind It' camp, but when it's SEMA-fied with some extra large wheels, we walk across the aisle to 'We Dig It.' This latest version offers 18-, 19-, and 20-inch wheels, and the latter size adds a sliver more presence and doesn't unduly compromise the ride." -- Autoblog
