"25. Ford Flex This past year might have been the beginning of the end for the SUV, but it was also the year of one of the SUV's most elegant and well-thought-out expressions: the Ford Flex. Instead of the faux-sporty, swoopy lines that so many cars this size have adopted as if to say ""I'm not a minivan!,"" the Flex is unabashedly boxy, its most outstanding feature being the four horizontal grooves on the doors. Like the Ford Woody that those lines evoke, the Flex is comfortable being what it is—the most stylishly square people-mover on the road today. $29,000; www.fordvehicles.com"
