GM'S Sale of Hummer Underway, WSJ

[Yetti]

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...

Hopefully GM will realize that in long run the Hummer brand is going to be profitable again, just a matter of time. With what they already invested into the R&D, it should be smart to keep it rather then trying sell it at any cost. H3T is out, H4 planned... and H3's sell, even now in current troubled times. It's like once gas dropped below $4, people regained interest in these deeply discounted SUV's. I saw several new ones on the local streets in the last week, both H3's and H2's... it's a steal these days to buy a Hummer.
