GM to Wind Down Hummer as Sichuan Tengzhong Sale Accord Fails - Bloomberg.com

“In today’s much more environmentally conscious world, it’s a brand that just doesn’t fit in.”

That just about sums it up, eh ?

Farewell Hummer.

Kev..

One can only hope, the cheap nasty imitation copy that GM tried to pass off as humvee that is, not the genuine millitary vehicle.

Stop making one of the aguably ugliest cars ever, well all good things must come to an end.

Bye bye.

I have a couple of friends with the proper H1's. Once you understand them they are a great vehicle, to big thought, they dont suit our bush tracks, they are just to wide.

But I agree, they are a total pain in the but to work on.

Yeah the real Humvee is a purpose built beast - the derivative civilian stuff is just crude yank tank off roader with Bling. No doubt someone will pick up the brand - even if it is nothing like the current H2/3. Like BMW did with the mini - has nothing to do with the original mini but they cashed in on the image.

my comment was directed more at the H2/H3's.... you need an arm with 3 wlbows to change the oil filter on a H3.....
