CNN: Huge Ford SUV set for extinction? |
|
Ford will stop producing the Excursion next September, according to a source familiar with the plan. December 13, 2004: 3:44 PM EST
DETROIT (Reuters) - Ford Motor Co. will kill off the Ford Excursion, its largest sport utility vehicle and a lightning rod for criticism from environmental groups, next year, a source familiar with the plan said on Monday.
The mammoth vehicle will stop rolling off the assembly line in September, as Ford moves to free up production capacity for the refreshed Super Duty pickup truck, said the source, on condition of anonymity.

What an injustice!! Now what are people going to do to overcompensate for their other "deficiencies"??

8. Automotive news talked about this in the summer. |

I guess the deaths in Iraq and dirty dealings in the House and Senate aren't interesting enough for Consertavite News Network.
