Spy photographers have spotted a mule of the upcoming Lincoln badged Flex crossover utility vehicle. The mule is identical to the
lengthened Taurus X-based mules that had served as the initial testbeds for the Ford Flex, but the latest round of spy shots reveals a waterfall grille that in unmistakably Lincoln.
The mule is clearly in its early developmental stages, but the front fascia features a sleeker and more flowing design than the one found on the Ford Flex .
It was believed that Mercury — not Lincoln — would receive a version of the Flex, but it was revealed yesterday that Ford’s luxury division will be the recipient of a Flex-based model.
The Ford Flex will hit the market in June, with the yet-to-be-named Lincoln model scheduled to bow a year later.
