The Ford Motor Co. has decided not to build a second
generation of the Excursion sport utility vehicle, the
New York Times reported Wednesday, citing people close
to Ford’s future product program.
THE EXCURSION, seven feet tall and able to seat a
softball team, was oft criticized as the auto
industry’s most visible symbol of sport utility
vehicle excess, the paper said, and is expected to be
discontinued at the end of the 2004 model year.
Introduced in 1999 as a 2000 year model, the end of
production will mean the Excursion lasted just one
generation.
Sarah Tatchio, a spokeswoman for Ford, declined to
confirm to the Times whether the company would drop
the 19-foot vehicle, which gets 10 miles a gallon, is
too long to fit in many garages and takes up two
conventional city parking spaces.

FORD: Excursion offers an impressive 165 cubic feet of
available cargo space. That's about eight times the
trunk volume of a full-size passenger car.
TRANSLATION: Some other things you might be able to
relate this to:
*About the size of your first apartment after college
*Could hold 10 cubicles, and a water cooler
*Enough room for optional lap pool
I really hate all the SUVs there
Now I'll just have to figure out how to decomission
all the existing ones on the road...
i repeat
I really hate all the SUVs there
Now I'll just have to figure out how to decomission
all the existing ones on the road...
and again
I really hate all the SUVs there
Now I'll just have to figure out how to decomission
all the existing ones on the road...
once more for good measure.
this calls for a celebration of some sort :)
