I could not agree more. I did not buy a Hummer for resale, I bought it to use it and I love every minute of it. I have always been a truck guy and the H2 suits my needs perfectly. It is a daily driver for me and I fill up on average about twice a week. The truck is paid for so I can tolerate the price of gas without having the car note to deal with. I may consider another vehicle, but I will keep the Hummer.
I live in a small town near Orlando and I agree, there is no shortage of jacked up bad ass rigs in my area. Ford Super Dutys, Dodge Mega Cabs, Chevy and GMCs, I see more and more rigged out jeeps with 35" wheels that I no don't get any better mileage than I do. So with that said, I'll keep my hummer and love every minute I am in it.
L8R!

Look how green we are! Come buy your little electric car from us (GM). We're so dedicated that we dumped the biggest black eye we had (HUMMER).
GM put to many eggs in one SUV. The lemmings (Americans) are freaking out. Lets spin our lack of vision to make ourselves look good.
...... you can make twice as many Volts in the space it took to make a truck.
Makes me want to go out and buy a new SUV. Maybe in 8 years when I'm ready for a new vehicle the auto manufacturers will have figured out that gas is no more costly than it was 20 years ago and will have some decent vehicles available......... let the lemmings drive there Volts.

Hey lets all drop diesels in our hummers and make bio desiel from nearby restaurants! thats a win-win for all hummer owners suffering right now. Oh and HumV any of the current candidates we have now would bend us down and stick it in far worse than Bush has.

I can't see Hummer just going away. Maybe AMGeneral will buy it back and continue making these vehicles. I know in my area there you can't go a mile without seeing another Hummer.

Doubt AMG has any interest in buying it back. Wish that were the case as that would be the best alternate scenario.

anybody consider the idea of threatening to make suvs scarce to help boost sales? i know my old man heard about 'bye-bye hummer' and wants to go grab an H3T asap.
just thinking out loud...
and if this thread goes political, we need to consider more than just the bush administration. we could easily pin all of it on clinton for not nailing osama when we had him dead to rights.

Agree that we should try and leave politics out of it. I've always thought of this forum as a place where Hummer enthusiasts are brought together to enjoy each others company and exchange ideas, not bicker and argue over things like politics.

Question:
If hummer does go out of business, would the value of our hummers increase due to availibility?

Funny I was thinking, wow a collectable so early in it's lifetime.
I wonder how cheap it will be to buy a second one?

Who knows on values. People gave away their muscle cars in the 70s. Look what happened to the values of those cars. And they are all gas guzzlers. No way to know. The lower production vehicles of course would have a better chance of value increases.

Nope, AM General never owned the H3 line and won't want it now. They still build the H2's with a lot of help from GM and they have already stopped building H1's.
"...In late 1999, AM General and General Motors Corporation finalized an agreement to jointly pursue product, marketing and distribution opportunities for HUMMER. Under the final agreement, GM acquired the exclusive ownership of the HUMMER brand name worldwide and the current HUMMER was renamed the HUMMER H1. Although GM acquired the HUMMER brand, they do not own any part of AM General." http://www.amgeneral.com/vehicles_hummer.php/amSid/5af32e43d3c109fe4c51cf47e42ceb4e
AM General is a privately owned company, meaning you CAN NOT buy it's stock, and they are perfectly happy building Army Trucks of every type and configuration. I think the only reason they did the H1 and H2 was to capitalize on some quick cash before selling the HUMMER name to GM.

I really feel sure they won't can it but would try to sell it as shown here.
"NEW YORK (Fortune) -- In opera, it isn't over until the fat lady sings. In the auto business, it isn't official until General Motors opens its mouth.
That day comes Tuesday in Wilmington, Delaware when embattled GM (GM, Fortune 500) chairman and CEO Rick Wagoner will explain to shareholders just how the automaker plans to survive the changes sweeping the industry. On Tuesday morning, Wagoner gave a hint of what's to come during a press conference preceding the start of the annual meeting: a big push into crossover cars, plans to close four GM plants and the possible sale of its Hummer sport utility vehicle division."
I just hope someone like Toyota doesn't buy it!!!
