http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/03/ford_flex_woody_250op.jpg (http://www.thecarconnection.com/blog/?p=1006&DID=RSS)Certain automotive fashions are better left in the grave. To wit: faux wood paneling. It looks good on the old Woody, but it's an absolute atrocity on everything else (see: Griswold, PT Cruiser). However, spies have caught the new Ford Flex donning some woodgrain shelf paper paneling, and as much as FoMoCo is trying to redefine the people-mover/minivan segment with the Flex, this would seem to be a seriously counterintuitive move. We're hoping it's a joke, and for our money, it is.
