The story gets better every day. Here's an email I received today:
I just spoke with someone who had just come out of face-to-face meetings with AMG personnel. Apparently, AMG has expected to get screwed by GM all along and has had contingency plans in place. They will continue to produce the H1, just not the Alpha. It will go back to the 6.5L TD. It may take a year or two to re-establish a dealer network and sell them, but they have sufficient fleet orders to produce 600-800 units per year right now. I'm told to expect an announcement or press release from AM General at some time in the future correcting the misinformation that has been coming out of GM.
If you carefully read the AMG press release it only says the Alpha will be discontinued.

Perhaps whomever wrote that should do a better job of reading instead of conspiring. It distinctly says in the press release from AM General "We have no plans to change any employment levels as a result of the decision to discontinue the H1."

Not to say something else isn't coming, but at least get the facts straight.:rolleyes:
