AM General shuts down H2 plant

[HummerMann]

Hummer announced it was shutting down the H2 AM General plant yesterday and laying off 200 workers. GM and AM General says this is at least till March, but GM is not saying if it will restart the line in March. They are obviously being tight lipped about this. No one knows if this is really temporary or the end of the line for the H2 - I hope someone with big pockets can get in there and save the H2!

Is that the only plant where H2's are produced?

[HummerJim]

Yep, that's the only place H2s are made. What I hate about this is, that if this really is the end of production, some people will buy them and store the 2009s for auto collections and Hummers are made to be driven and not stored in a garage or warehouse. Your H2 will become a rarer and rarer sight on the road. If the AM General plant starts churning out taxis we'll know it's over.

that's a bad news...

I don't know if it is a coincidence (sort of doubt it..), but since yesterday prices on two H2's I tracked jumped up; nice clean base '05 with 33k miles went from $22k to $25, and '08 demo (80 miles, but horrible dual-color paint scheme) from $50k (still in the morning paper at that price) to $56k already at the website.. both are sold by dealerships here in SoCal
