The media is continuing to bash Ford's Excursion as the dirtiest and filthiest S.U.V. on the planet. But why hasn't the media attacked the Chevy Suburban? Chevy has never claimed - to the extent - as Ford has, of being such an environmentally friendly company.

The media has taken the position that if your green - then talk the talk. But don't tell the world how environmentally friendly you are and produce products to the contrary.

Expect more media and consumer bashing of the Excursion as Job-1 approaches.
