ughhhhh!!!

....glad I have one now, because they're only going to get harder to find now...in good shape that is.

Well, on to the next brand to get cut!

Now, how many dealers will be left in 6 months. Your local GM dealer will be diong the warranty work soon. ..at least that's what I expect.

Harder to find? ummmm. Tons of h2 for sale under 30K. Do you think this will drive down the resale and the price of existing 2005-2007 h2's?

Drive down??!! Prices will slowly climb. No more will be made, they will slowly become collectible.

This is sad, but I never really understood dealing with the Chinese anyhow, especially when they started talking about getting regulatory approval. Didnt they remember that the Chicoms dont have a free market society and that the way the green movement is working its way into every thing? I'm sad Hummer wont continue (for now) but once again disgusted with GM. They cant cant get anything right. I wonder of being government owned had anything to do with this out come, hmmmm.

I think some one will step up and go for HUMMER... Who else makes a rig like HUMMER.. Sure ther are the a few Multi 100K SUV's out there but none like the HUMMER H2 for the price.

Sometimes I wonder if the guys in the GM Board room are smoken Crack.
GM still has to sell off the tooling to some one for the H3... Don't know if AMG owns the tooling for the H2 or not but some one will buy it and continue to make spares.

Or maybe the off shore private deal will go down. I hope so... Hate to see the Beast Go.

It's a sad day around here and I was tempted to put some black bunting over the front door and wear my black arm band. I think we all thought there was a good chance of this happening, but just hoped someone would come to the rescue. Most of us shared an experience people will never have again, driving a new Hummer out of the showroom. I plan on keeping mine a LONG TIME. One thing for sure, you're going to see less and less of them on the streets through attrition.
This reminds me of when Packard went down the tubes. My dad was a big Packard fan and when they closed their doors he was visibly depressed for a while. If you're into cars and vehicles, it's like the passing of a good friend.

Yes.. drive down.I just don’t see this GM brand being any kinda collectible or one that will be highly sought after. They want them off the lots. The dealer here has had the same 8 h2's for sale for the last 8-10 months. I've seen an 07 Lux with 24,000miles price cut from $31,000 to $27500 in the last two weeks at the dealer here. I've also see an 05 lux with 50k sell for 23k. Only time will tell, but I hope some one picks them up. Such a fine vehicle

It's a sad day for Hummer! The environmentalists and tree huggers got it in their sights and then gas prices went up. I'm just glad I've gotten to own two H2s, both new from the dealer and the best vehicles I've ever owned.

I say this is AMERICA.. Drive what you want...I too am a little sad that no one has stepped up yet to do something with HUMMER ....but I haven't given up yet.

Now If I hit the Power Ball Lottery..HUMMER Is Back in Business. I agree...It is one of the best rides I've owned...
