HUMMERDOGG is an unknown quantity at this point

Well, let's just say that each of the items in question: (3 hangars, change in steering wheel cap color, change in the color of the bezels around the gauges, coin holder, center console rubber mat, 2 underhood lights, hood prop) were each $3.00 in cost savings. That's a total of 10 items with production of H2's around 50,000 to date.

That would be 10x3x50,000=total cost savings of $1.5MM. Thats not a substantial savings for someone like GM but is enough money to pay 75 executives an extra $20,000 each this year.

This kind of reminds me of the Microsoft Windows commercial where a nickel saved is like a savings to the company of $20MM or something like that.
