The article says GM is exploring all options for Hummer. It does NOT say Hummer will be canned. There will always be a market for pick up trucks, and the H3T is one sweet truck. Soccer moms will go back to the mini van and all will chill out in good time.

Kinda reminds me of the crunch down on big blocks in the 70s......The Carter Energy crisis that never was. All a bunch of BS.

 

Yeah it says, "may" drop its Hummer brand of large sport utility vehicles.

I wouldn't doubt they drop Hummer, its typical for GM to leave its customers hanging in the wind.

 

For what it's worth, article on MSNBC site as well:

only time will tell.

 

Like has been said, people love their trucks and will keep buying them. There are "some" around here talking about downsizing but not many. Of course that is all relative like White08H3said, if you live within the city I'm sure the common vehicle will be smaller. Move out to the burbs or farther and you will see bigger cars and trucks.
This happened to the auto industry in the 80's as well if you think back. Big cars/trucks were out and little cars were in. It will turn around, it's just a matter of when.

 

Maybe the Hydrogen Hummer will be an option again.

 

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 *** 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 oneSUV. The lemmings (Americans) are freaking out. Lets spin our lack of vision to make ourselves look good.

...... you can make twice as many Voltsin 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.

 

Hmmmm Hmmmmm and HMMMMMMM

Sad if GM gets rid of Hummer
WE NEED TO SUBSITUTE THE GASOLINE WITH SOMETHING ELSE FAST. !!! Hydrogen Here we GO!!!


P.S its all Bush's fault Not only he f*cked America in the *** but im blaming him forForcing GM to get rid of the Hummer line too.... lol

 

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.
