I used to own a 2014 Ford Flex (Titanium trim). It started to wear down and eventually would have cost more to fix than it was worth.
If I could get an updated version of that vehicle, ideally with an EV conversion, I would be so happy. I ended up getting a 2024 Ford Edge, which is fine and came with a 0% interest promo, but is comparatively very disappointing. I tried to get an Explorer, which does appear to be a modernized Flex, but I live in a rural area and there were none realistically nearby given that it was a somewhat urgent situation.
Geez do I miss the Flex every time I leave my house.
Also, I suspect that this answer doesn't fit the general vibe of this thread, but I'm answering the question literally so I'm sticking with it.
edit: I do also own and enjoy a '79 Corvette, in case that helps with the last part! It used to be my dream car, but also it serves a very different purpose from what my Flex did.
