Eh, it doesn't look like they copied at all. Other then the general shape, nothing is similar.

The big difference?

That is hideous, in the SUV mom type way. Not the cool way.

IMO i think its looks good, if they did copy it, they did a good job of it.... but like i said thats my opinion, if i had that kind of money, i'd sport one... especially with the multi sun roofs

I thought the same thing until I actually saw one in person. Then I came to the conclusion that Ford failed to even come close to the xB. The "Flex" just hurts the eyes and looks like a damn tug boat on the road. In the months that it's been out...I've seen only one on the road! The rest are parked on the dealer lot

Its funny cuz the japanese are famous for copying cars and look were they are now! Maybe Ford and Chevy can change things around by copying the Japanese!

I would roll the Edge over the xb if it was in the same price range. Definetly wouldn't pay $30k for it though.

A local news station has some car guy named Ed Wallace review new vehicles every friday. He said this was probably the best vehicle Ford has built (excluding their F-series trucks). It really is a nice car but the price point is not.

It looks like they threw a cover on a truck. And ewwwww! That front end! No thought put in it at all - Yeuck! The steering wheel and climate/radio control layout looks busy and unintuitive and boring as hell.

Not feeling it. Not feeling it at all.

I think this is a repost.

Nonetheless, yea I don't know why they'd copy that style....plus this one is like over 40gs isn't it? I may be wrong.

I think it looks like they copied the range rover / land rover more than they copied the xB. And you ppl seem to forget that the xB is Not the 1st box shaped vehicle.
