DEARBORN, MI (DPI) - Seeking to shed an image of wasteful energy use, Ford Motor Company today took the wraps off its largest hybrid vehicle ever, the Excursion GHT. Built with existing technology, the nearly five-ton vehicle is a standard F-350 Super Duty Excursion with the remains of a Honda Insight crushed into its massive grille. "We know enthusiasts everywhere could make this themselves," commented company CEO William Clay Ford. "This way, there's a lot less insurance hassle and screaming."

So I get to look forward to getting old, having favorite friends and celebrities of whom I followed their music and movies often, die, and now HYBRID vehicles..

I'm sorry but if it doesn't do the quarter mile in under 15 seconds and sound bad-ass, it isn't something I would care for. And I hope it stays that way.

Why are they doing this?
It doesnt help the Chevy truck much... unless there is need for a nice portable genny.
