Do you think that they are okay or do you think they diminish the Hummer namebrand by rebaging GM products and posing them as "real" hummers

I hope that the "next" Hummers will be either of these concepts:
1. The Open Top Adventurer - similar to a Land Rover D-90 type of vehicle - no frills, open top, smaller than an H1 but bigger than a jeep, highly capable (lockers/suspension or retro-fittable), soft top, simple design, off-road capable, with at least 35" tires. Everything about it is durable - rhino lined interior & waterproof seats stock!
2. A MEAN "hummer-esque" looking BIG full size pickup w/ a Duramax to compete with Dodge Cummins & F250 Powerstroke & GM full size pick-ups.
I think the Hummers that GM is producing now (H2, H3) are about getting as much market share as possible, (the suv is the hottest segment) and you can hardly fault a car company for wanting to sell cars.
