Hidden: The Ford Motor Co. has decided not to build a second generation of the Excursion sport utility vehicle.: "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." I used to call this the Ford Preposterous (Absurdsion?). Good riddance to bad rubbish. (As for relevance, yes, I know I'm pushing the envelope.)

I'll vote for 'not at all'. Everyone knows the word 'sport' in SUV is complete crap. If someone is canceling the NASCAR Excursion racing series, though, let me know ;)
