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.

1. There's always the Hummer.

For those who can't get hummers on their own.

2. Ha, ha, ha! Now what are these REPUGs going to do with their

obsolete monstrosities! Ahhh, so sad...... (not!)

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

4. Did they come right out of the factory

with one of those yellow "Support Our Troops" ribbons already attached?

6. That was excellent!

Probably the funniest thing I've read all night.

3. good

it makes me sick whenever i see them on the road...usually one person driving them, too

[mitchum]

5. But they are going to introduce the Ford Compensator and Ford Arriviste!

7. Why don't they just call it what it is...

Any new SUV they make should be called the Ford Huge Dick.

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.
