l thought this immediately when l saw it, that it was a ripoff.
anyone else?

Sure does...Lets see them in a head-to-head comparison

Yup. Plus throw in the white-roof of the Mini. In many ways l think it looks like a super-sized Mini Clubman.

yeah it does, its a little longer than the Scion XB but mostly the same.

No it doesn't. The Flex is longer, lower, and more detailed. Did the xB have lines on the side, no. Did the xB have a white roof, no. And lastly did the xB have a third row, that is seats seven,no. It has its similarities but, the Flex is a better car.

Shape-wise? Yes, just the outer shell.

Otherwise this is no where near an xB in comparison.

This is a SUV/Minivan. 7 seats, 3 rows, V6 engine.

The commercials seem to mimic the Scion commericals and YES it does have similar body lines as the xB - it may have other differences.body lines and white roof but the core body is VERY similar
