Hummer is dead.

The Chinese authorities were stalling and blocking the sale, so GM just officially offed the brand. As a guy who grew up loving trucks, and having just lost one of his favorite makes. I feel oddly happy about it.

 

[jpeyton]

Amen.

 

[MovingTarget]

It is about time. I'd be sad if the trucks actually lived up to what their name implied.

 

[Dr. Detroit]

Saddens me that we lose the impressive off-roader, the H3.

Chevy should continue to produce the H3 and continue to refine it into the bad as Jeep Wrangler Rubicon fighter that it is!

 

[StageLeft]

Hummer died the day the first H3 rolled off the line.

 

[DivideBYZero]

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

 

[HannibalX]

The H3 is a good truck and much more capable than the H2 pig wagon.

 

[Mide]

Good for the industry, fuck hummers and their drivers.

Fixed. Even in so cal, most of the H3s i see around here are caked with mud at some point

That's actually their best product. The H2 was shit. The H1 was grand for the one individual that actually needed its capability. It was shit for the rest of the people who didn't.

And saying it was their best product...isn't saying much. The H3 was woefully underpowered when first released. They finally fixed that with the V8 variant...but it was too little too late. If they had made a kick ass Jeep like vehicle that had appeal to the opposite sex..they may have been able to keep going...as is, their product portfolio sucked.

LOL, the Chinese said they were worried about its image. LOL

All the haters can be quiet, I wouldn't buy one, but at least it was a unique car.

 

[VinylxScratches]

Good riddance, these were shit buckets.

Hummer died the day the H2 was thought up. They should have kept the real Hummer and left the brand alone.

Real Hummers aren't built by RubberMaid.

If by unique you mean shit, then yes, they were shitty gas guzzling rust buckets.

Don't be jealous homie.

Long live HUMMER!

[JulesMaximus]

Can't say that this saddens me in the least.

 

[jhu]

It's funny how two threads about the same thing turn out so differently. The P&N thread already has the sparks for a flamefest.

Nope, we have a pair of them. Can't say we're unhappy with either. In fact, they're two of the more reliable vehicles I've owned. One farts around town and has 10k miles on it in 4 years and is the definition of a poseur-mobile.

The second one is one of the company's vehicles and was used for Katrina relief as well. Pretty useful in the hands of a good driver.

Yes, the flames will come, but it doesn't really bother me. They work well for what we use them for.
