perhaps not.. but this is pretty damn cool if you ask me. And yes.. it really EXTREMELY hard to drive.. especially downtown Calgary in the midst of rushhour... turning into tight intersections.
The Excursion is now discountinued.. 2006 was the last year.
But your right about there being too many models.

One thing that nobody else has mentioned is the job spinoff... for every job GM cuts, 7 more jobs are lost in other industries.
That means that the 4000 jobs in canada that are lost will spin into 28,000 more lost jobs.
I can't cry for someone who has made $38/hr and is losing their job. but I can be sad for those who make significantly less and are out of work because the CAW crybabies want more and more every year.

^ Yeah when a portion - a portion that is not in relation to your earnings - of your paycheck disappears and you're not quite sure what for...
Or when you wake up one morning and are told you cannot go to work today even though you want to go cuz some **** shoveller union across the country wants a 68% wage increase....
Not that I am anti-union

i feel no remorse for the company going belly up if they do. any company that spends as much money on making **** as gm does deserves all they get! for those who dont know, gm is the #1 backer of **** in the world. i really feel for the workers who are use to making 30 bucks and hr for spinning one bolt on a flywheel that are now going to have to "actually" do some real work for 10 bucks and hr. and no benefits, ouch! my prayers go out to you.
