![]() The Hummer died and the Excursion faded into oblivion, too. (Remember the joke that Lincoln introduced as a pick up truck, the Blackwood!) Well, the bubble burst. The market for big ticket SUV's waned considerably, and the big three were way too smug thinking that silly Americans would keep wanting their big, bigger and biggest tecnho/luxo encrusted SUV's. GM and Chrysler filed for bankruptcy because they didn't have the goods to offer people who wanted decent passenger cars. GM, Ford and Chrysler let their car lines stagnate, virtually deteriorate from updating and new designs, in favor of devoting more time to their SUV's. Those ugly Suburbans, Escalades and Navigators peppered our roads, complete with the insolent jerks operating them. The egregious SUV that became the automotive staple on American roads in the '90s festered to become a damning ingredient in more ways than one. Just another inane trend in automobile land.
