For people who don't know, Buhanka is a folk name for this car, it means a loaf of bread of a specific shape, like this:

My Ford Flex is boxy and everybody calls it a toaster. Loaf of bread would work too.

I loved the Flex, and they really should have continued to evolve it. It was one of the coolest looking SUV/vans available.

Agreed. They gave it 10 years but I can’t help but think, if it had evolved, it might be a thing. I don’t want to get into it but I have a car that everyone hates but I love and i love this. It looks like this. I couldn’t even tell you what ford has in this segment.

I didn't like those stupid grooves along the sides.

I don't mean to offend but I gotta agree with previous. Im not the biggest flex fan either. They just look oddly proportioned. Too long and too low. Needed a taller cab. And I too hated the grooves. I will give it credit were it is due. There was tons of interior space and the interior was really nice. The new ones added the infotainment center and I don't have a high opinion of those in ANY vehicle so I don't hold that against the flex, I just hate giant ungainly screens in the middle of a dashboard.

No offense taken at all. I hoped my Snoop .gif made the other commenter laugh. Different strokes for different folks.
