Yeah, but they were very slow in opening the order bank for the 2017 model. It was after the middle of October before my dealer could order mine. But Toyota and Honda were also late in opening their order banks for the Highlander and Pilot. All three were on my shopping list, so I ordered the first one that was available, which turned out to be the Flex.
Why would Ford and Toyota and Honda all be late in producing their 2017 mid-size/large crossover SUVs? There were no changes to the 2017 Flex compared to the 2016 model (other than the new color of white gold, which I ordered). Love that white gold color. Of course I haven't seen it on a Flex, but the dealer in Midland has an F-250 with that color. DW saw that pickup in white gold and declared that was her color.

I am surprised that you were able to order it this early. They didn't take orders on the 2016 until late November, with production starting in February. Well with knowing that there will be 2017 models, at least In know in the future I will still be able to find one a few years down the road when I am ready for another one. I so wish I could afford another black beauty like what I had, I so miss that car.
