2013 Ford Flex shows the way with revised schnoz

Spy photographers have managed to snap a fairly clear look at what the next iteration of the Ford Flex will bring to the table. If these photos are any indication, the crossover will wear a mild facelift that includes updates to the vehicle's grille, fog lights and front fascia as well as new badging. Expect to see new brightwork surrounding both the grille and the vehicle's headlights along with a restyled bumper cap. If that's not pulse-quickening enough for you, it looks as if Ford will also roll in a new fog-light design with a slimmer housing.

The rear of the vehicle will also receive a quick nip and tuck with a reworked bumper cap. We're guessing the rear hatch area may see some attention as well given the heavy camouflage present on this particular test vehicle. Word has it Flex buyers will also get a shot at MyFord Touch for the first time when the vehicle makes its way to dealer lots. Stay tuned.

Man I love yiddish.

I like it.

It's more like the F-150 trucks. Or at least the Raptor.

It's not the schnoz that needs fixing on the Flex, it's the ugly slab-sided doors with the silly grooves stamped in them. Otherwise, quite a nice wagon.

I was always attracted to the giant xB looks....it is so different to the rest of the jellybean vans out there.

Agreed, it's the silly grooves going down the side of the body that mare an otherwise cool family ride.
As far as the facelift, those foglight surrounds scream cheapness. Looks like a plastic painted Testor's model car piece.
