    There's an old Irish saying... and it goes like this
    ( oh, and, by the way, you should be using your best Irish brogue as ya be recitin' tis...)

    "A honchas is kinda like an arse,
    all in the world have 'em -
    and they all smell like (in Irish, starts with 's' and rhymes with kite...)"

    but I'm just joshin' ya boy-o ...

    (dialect delete) ... at least I'm assuming it's an old Irish saying ....

    I cant find that word in the English dictionary, the Spanish, the Italian, Greek, heck,
    it hasn't even been entered into the Urban Dictionary of slang words ...
    Kudos to a1awind for bringing a new word to the world wide lexicon! Woo-Hoo!

    Its definitely the most wagonish of the SUV/Crossover clan. It looks like its heritage is a truck platform, but it fits the ratios and utility to be a wagon. I would call it a wagon in the same way that a Jeep Wagoneer is a wagon. Kinda is but kinda isn't.

    I have been looking at the Flex for a while. Like what has been said earlier, depends on your definition of what is a station wagon.

    The ISWC loosely defines a station wagon as a sedan with an extended roof. By that definition, since there is no Flex sedan, it doesn't make it.

    The several Ford dealers I have spoken to will not refer to it as a station wagon, indeed according to almost all new manufacturers, there is no such thing as a station wagon. The Ford dealers also said they can't unload the things, women look at them and say they look like a hearse and a 30K+ price tag for a family hauler is steep. When you look them up on Ebay, almost all of them are coming out of rental fleets, the only place that Ford can sell them to.

    But I like the look, will wait until they get a little cheaper on the used market and maybe take the plunge.
