Re: Is HUMMER on the way out ?
In trouble? Maybe, but if the people making decisions at GM have any brains they will see the strengths of the brand and properly adjust to the market.
The HX is exactly what HUMMER needs.
These articles are misleading, and the only way HUMMER is on it's way out is if all offroad vehicles are on their way out, which I doubt. There will always be a need for them, the people in charge just gotta think outside the box.
So it's that, or our governments actually do something to control gas prices.

x1000. It doesn't take a genius to figure that out but GM just doesn't get it. They finally have a brand name that is equated with the Outdoors and 4-wheeling. All they need to do is match a sized rig to what the market wants.

Re: Is HUMMER on the way out ?
I want the Hummer brand to go down in flames. Hopefully in 2 years they'll stop making them.
