GM'S Sale of Hummer Underway, WSJ

[oldhummer]

The Russion billionaire is in the buyers pool. I see this going to him and there will be a binding agreement regarding warranty, customer relations etc.
The parts on my h3 are mostly GM and are interchangeable with almost any make within the GM brand. So maybe the h3 will stay in the GM stable. There is a place for it because the performance is in an acceptable ballpark for all of the 3.7 's. Only problem is GM is on a keep no prisoners mission and will probably shoot the h3 as well.
However, the Hummer fits the new Russion freedom and country infrastructure - me thinks?

The Russian billionaire's company Russian Machines has already stated that they are NOT interested in purchasing HUMMER.

Also, not all parts are interchangable, only 25% of the H2 and H3's parts are off the shelf GM components, the rest are unique to HUMMER...

The wife just bought the white Alpha and the dealer told us that they had sold a total of 12 H3's this weekend.

I dunno about you guys, but GM is pulling a fast one. the dealer down the road that I deal with has 40+ H3s on the lot and a couple of H2s. they are everywhere around here. I was driving yesterday down by Brooklyn, mi and saw 5 on the road and its 40 miles to the nearest dealer from there. even the semi loads of H2s I see go by are heading into Detroit and local dealers, someones buying these cars so it couldn't be that bad.

I tried the compact Volks Golf TDI for five years and I could not get in or out of the dam thing particularly after a long drive---the h3 is a safe, economical comfortable vehicle for us oldies that have the money to end our driving carrears in comfort. We were in the bush trails of the foothills yesterday looking for wild berries and the wife loves it. We need to get the word out--I am getting 24 mpg-Imperial gallon-- up here in Canada and that is better than any truck I have owned in the last 40 years.

This Sucks!

Won't GM have to sell the factory wher the H3's and Colorados are made as well?

I'm seeing more and more H3's now.

Just call it a Blazer and keep making the H3, H3T and hopfully H4 as a Chevy. The design work has been done so keep it going!

If GM drops Hummer I'll go back to a Jeep if Jeep is still around. If not then I'll sadly go back to Toyota

I plan on hanging on to my H3 for a good while. I'd be sorry to see the brand go by the wayside.

Like some of the posts above, I heard that they had no major "interested" potential buyers. They tried to peddle it to the Ruskies, VW and a Chinese outfit and got "not interested" replies from all of them.

Why do I see people constantly saying this? Owning the name HUMMER isn't costing GM any money, why would they take pure HUMMER's and slap a chevy badge on them? The issue isn't the name HUMMER, it's GM's belief that SUV's and trucks aren't selling and won't sell in the future, which is debatable.

If they sell HUMMER, they can't use any of the existing designs, that will be sold along with everything else HUMMER. If they sell HUMMER and then make a chevy offroad vehicle that will be the dumbest move by GM, ever.

Toyota is getting rid of their 'offroaders' too...
