From the article today,
"Just as General Motors is halting production of the Hummer, and other sport-utility vehicles fall out of favor with cost-conscious and eco-friendly Americans, the gas-guzzling behemoths are experiencing a rebirth among young and wealthy Iraqis"
"Now that security has improved, Hummers — the slimmed-down, civilian versions of the U.S. military Humvees that have patrolled Baghdad for six years — have earned a reputation as a sturdy car that can stand up to Iraq's crumbling streets."
We could have told them they were rugged machines!
