The Flex is basically a Taurus SHO underneath, so it's the 3.5L 365 HP twin-turbo V6 and AWD, 8-speed automatic that actually works really well with the Ecoboost especially in sport. I have to claim a new appreciation for it now. A tune will really wake it up based on the results I saw with my Ecoboost F150.

A Cayenne turbo would be great, but the Flex is probably worth $30k tops on the used market. $30k in a 2011+ Cayenne gets you a pretty nice S, but it's hard to touch a turbo or GTS for under $40k. I honestly don't want anything before a 2011, the interior is pretty unimpressive and I don't care for the styling.
