GM to Sell Hummer Brand -- Now the Auto Industry's Worst Performer

My Rolls gets less mileage than my Hummer fleet (I have four of various years) for my wife and teen children. The arrogance of the poor to dictate to the wealthy how to live. You are the fertilizer. In a highway crash, the Hummer drivers and passengers walk away unharmed, the meat wagon with shovels comes for your loved ones flattened in "smart" cars. So they are not the smart in an inelastic collision.

This is a big nation. Some of us still think big. We don't apologize for our success by stooping down to get into a tiny car and apologizing for our existence. I will use as much gasoline as I like and if you can't afford it, tough. It is not like your life is so useful that I should even care whether you drive a car or ride a bike. I am not here to service your worthless life. If your idea of success is pulling a rickshaw so your neighbor will give you green points than have at it. Just keep that backwards mentality off the roads when I am going to work. Make something of your lives instead of huddling together with weaklings and liberal politicians that talk one line to you but live fat.

Where else could you find such useless hypocrisy as politicians who contribute nothing to the engine of economy but act like royalty? With their new socialized health plan, try to remember that politicians already have their own plan, no deductible, no care option limitations, lasts a lifetime covers all costs including medications, dental, and their families. And you fools think these clowns have the answers. They throw you crumbs and you stupidly lap it up. They are worthless unproductive losers. So do me a favor and don't do my thinking for me and don't tell me what to drive or how to live my life. You are not worthy of one second of my life. You have wasted your life and become a nobody. So go be a nobody and quit trying to foist your loser's philosophy on everyone else. Smart wealthy people don't need your pablum for the masses. We are not you and we don't want to become like you. In fact if my children turned out to be loser like you, I would disown them. I have no use for bottomed out tattooed losers with bad teeth and fried brains; you know, liberals.

We use HUMMERS to save lives, to rescue people in places where no other vehicle can get. HUMMER is more than just a statement vehicle, it's an amazing machine that carries our soldiers through war and aids in rescue efforts. Don't take this tool from us!

It's such a shame that GM let the Hummer brand go just because it was foreseen that the shift to smaller cars will be permanent. They should have just tried to modified its parts and car accessories so that it would still sell in the market either as a hybrid or electric Hummer. Besides, I can't imagine who will want to buy the Hummer brand.

In term of mileage, I guess a Ferrari or Lamborghini is even worse than Hummer. What's more, they carrier far less passengers than Hummer.

GM should make Hummer a super luxury 4X4 brand like Land Rover or even Rolls Royce,Bentley and Maybach. Handworking can be adopted if necessary,as Spyker from Netherland.

Selling Hummer cannot a huge mistake for GM.

Now that I'm thinking about it. GM is really screwing the brand I love. They bought the branding rights from AM General in 1999, came out with the H2 (built at AM General) in 2002 or 2003. They're doing ok with the brand so far. In 2005 they come out with H2 SUT, another plus. Same year they have plans for an H3, even better!!! And then they just screw over the vehicle that made the brand what it is today. In 2006 they stop making the beloved H1. You can't even special order it. I understand the new emission laws are expensive to work with and fix to pass them, but still killing the legend, the H1. I was heartbroken. Now less than 10 years from acquiring the brand, they are thinking about selling it. I think GM is making a mistake. They need to make HUMMER into a more prestigious brand like Land Rover. Not make it a cheap brand of a car that you see soccer moms driving. So what, they'll be expensive, Porsches aren't cheap, Land Rovers aren't cheap, Lambos and Ferraris certainly aren't cheap. Keep the brand, don't dump it. Just find a different market and class of people to sell the cars to. That just makes sense.

Funny you mention TATA. Thats the only company I can think of that would buy it. They did buy Land Rover, why not HUMMER? If I was a billionaire i'd buy the brand and sign a contract with AM General (The Original HUMMER Creators) to make the H3, H3T, H2, H2 SUT, Hx, and i'd do the unthinkable, bring back the H1. But I'm not a billionaire and we will probably never see the H1 again. =/
