good riddance
Due in part to the military HMMWV's success in Desert Storm, AM General introduced a civilian version of the vehicle called the HUMMER in 1992. Known as “the world’s most serious 4x4,” the revolutionary vehicle has found favor with commercial users who appreciated the value of HUMMER’s long life and amazing performance, and individuals who seek the ultimate in toughness and mobility. In 1999, General Motors acquired the HUMMER brand worldwide and rebadged the original vehicle H1. In 2002, AM General began assembling the HUMMER H2 for GM in its new factory in Mishawaka, Ind. This vehicle was designed by and is marketed by General Motors. In 2006, production of the H1 ceased. Although GM acquired the HUMMER brand, they do not own any part of AM General.

GM sold Hummer to a Chinese company. They just sold Saab
to a Dutch company.

The Hummer should have been strictly a military vehicle and never should have been produced for street use. Save that gas for hungry Mopars dammit!

the deal to sell hummer to china fell through, A.M. GENERAL still makes the humvee and they are not a division of G.M.

The 4 door Jeep Wrangler killed the Hummer....With the removable doors and top and cheaper price, the Hummer had no chance....Not to mention, the Hummer couldn't shine the Rubicons rims off road.

They were just a gimmick for the status symbol people ninche. Just flat stamp sheet metal on a Tahoe chassis. Same with the H3 was on a Trailblazer chassis. They were still limited to what the Tahoe & Trailblazer could do.
This is why the Jeep has been successful, the Wrangler & Grand Cherokee can still be true offroaders. Now if Jeep could get rid of the wannabes from their line-up, & concentrait on the core vehicles, this would be a good time to pick up X-Hummer owners.
So, selling off the Hummer brand, all they were selling was the sheet metal & interior. Am I right?

Seriously, what a waste of a vehicle for the street, they are so friggin big and serve no purpose other than looking like you're all dat when pulling into blockbuster on a saturday night, or to drop the daughter off at cheerleader camp as you drive by the mini vans with your nose in the air, but to each their own I guess.
