"De Lorenzo: How the pitchforks almost killed the Ford Explorer
In those dark days, when two of the Detroit Three were heading toward oblivion, and Ford was certain to follow, it was not unexpected that some within Ford would be vehemently against the idea of doing a new Explorer.
After all, the letters S-U-V had become the bane of Detroit’s existence.
Consumers were beginning to abandon the segment in droves as the political rhetoric generated by the virulent anti-car, anti-Detroit “intelligentsia” (and I use that term derisively as if you had to guess) in Washington and California and in the media (only thinly-disguised at that point and led, of course, by their Patron Saint, Thomas Friedman of the New York Times) was reaching a cacophonous crescendo."
Isn't it funny how quickly the rich liberals and their comrades in the MSM drop their hate for the SUV when they think it is now their "idea"?
Actually, it's not funny.
It's very sad.
