Here is an excerpt:

"Soaring gas prices are not hurting local sales of the new Hummer H3, so far. That's great news for General Motors and its $250 million gamble at its Shreveport plant.

There's no denying the fun factor when it comes to a Hummer, like the H3. Taking a test drive with Salesman Walter Downey of Orr Hmmer, he lets me scale a 14-inch high concrete obstacle, with no problem at all. Yes, that was fun.

But, the people who buy Hummers don't want them to become too popular. Orr Hummer Sales Manager Rick Chance told us, 'they (customers) don't want to be everybody in the crowd. They want to step outside a little bit and so, and be noticed.'"
