Gang not trying to do the I said so thing really but, search back and find old TAZ said through my connections Hummer would most likely be bought and not shut down. I also said it would be Chinese, Indian, or AM General.

Now do not count AM General out yet. The Chinese would like for them to be an investor to aid in overseeing the product. This Chinese company will do for Hummer things GM would have never done. They will be a good owner to all of us owners and buyers. I expect to see the HX model to go forward in future where I did not think GM would ever had gone ahead with it. The HX is a model if done close to the prototype would sell best at most affordable price. It could go with real basic build not all the fancy seats and electronics to make it a true outback, desert or whatever terrain the rest of the world needs to run it in. Most of the places it would be used does not even use air conditioning as well as all the luxuries proto. had on it.

Anyway most all Hummer employees have a safe job far from the condition that allot of the auto workers have. Some place down the road when Hummer decides what product they want to use for most of 3rd world which is the largest segment available to sell inexspense tough rugged rides the Chinese may build that model in China. This is so they can sell it at a low price that none of us will have a chance to buy. All smog gone well all the stuff that runs cost up on rigs we like to buy. I think if it is HX we will get that model as well but, just at higher price to cover gov. mandated goodies.

I'm fairly happy with the buyer the more I look into the companies rep. and commitment to quality. We will most likely even get a diesel H2 way sooner than GM would have ever done it if ever. I think for western nation sells, the H2 will get some new goodies electronics, sound, and many other things we may not have thought of having since this new buyer has rep. to give more bang for the buck. They see what GM would not have nor offered if GM saw it I believe. Hummer is being bought at wholesale price where if new owner wanted will be able to sell Hummer for a ridiculous price and profit in a few years if they just maintain statust quo with only tidbit upgrades. This Chinese group has dump truck loads of money and this group will as time allows just to strength the Hummer brand will go for upgrading Hummer products asap.

Well anyway do not give up on AM General as a small equity owner and the H1 coming back soon.

The thing I have not read yet is what dealer situation will be. This is where we could loose Hummer employees. Hopefuly not and it will most likely be after the new owner has a chance to look at books on number of dealers and sales. Like in Arkansas 2.5 million people there are 2 dealers both owned by same people so I would expect them to keep dealer literally in center of state and ask owner to close the one stuck way off in northwest corner of our state even though there is allot of money up there.

Well just more fuel for fire of speculations.
