Replying to: tidester (Jun 27, 2008 8:28 am) Just change your name to "Devil's Advocate" then. I thought I put forward some pretty good points. Let's be real. What other vehicle draws the same instinctual response as a Hummer? That's a love or hate vehicle. -moo

Replying to: madmanmoo (Jun 27, 2008 8:36 am) That may be worthy of a whole topic. Perhaps BMWs. And Jettas (both because of the oft noted stereotypical attributes of the drivers). But I think you're right - the H1 and H2 are definitely poster children for the I Don't Like SUVs Why Do You crowd. What happens to the image if HUMMER gets sold to Tata or Chery?

Dreaming and wishing some time back, would it be a land cruiser or a 2. Sat in 2's but never drove one-afraid it could be addictive. Wanted to say electric supercharger in prior post but haven't spent time lately on research in that area. Don't have the green autoblog bookmarked, but a google hit just discovered a recent green autoblog hit about controlled power technologies and their electric supercharger. Stored for further use. |

Replying to: steve_ (Jun 27, 2008 9:03 am) I'm not sure if anything will happen. I wonder what TaTa sees that we don't. |

Replying to: aspesisteve (Jun 27, 2008 7:19 am) LOL...I hope you've got more to back up its ties to the military than occasionally spotting a "Support Our Troops" sticker on the back of one. Oh dear, that did make me smile.

After January 2009, Dick Cheney will be the perfect spokesman to sell Hummers, following Bob Dole's footsteps! Most Hummer types probably think a world of him, and look upon their Hummers to help them overcome in areas where the may be falling short, and Bob Dole's Viagra can come in handy!

| Thanks for the descriptive word "Most". t_o_d is definitely a blue person in a red state. Some people only think of on/off, they all are, and etc. At times, don't like being included, erroneously, as in the go go, macho man, guns, hunting, fishing, hd's - (hogs). (By the way any truth that moab uranium mining is making the river glow at night). Been to asia courtesy of sam, rode a bwm boxer for a couple of years-but definitely been sad since the propaganda machine took over our constitition. | |

Yes, there are negative prius comments in hummer posts-provoked by the gestures and vandalism against hummers owners and their vehicles. Who started it and when - don't know - but think it should stop-there are bigger fish to fry. Hope you got your licks in - did that make you feel better. |

Thanks You Edmunds! What should GM do with Hummer. GM wants to sell the name? No takers? H2 is a limited production play toy. H3 isn't as tough as some believe. H3 isn't as bad as most believe. Still would buy one without rock crawling gears. [even though finally got around to putting on the billstines (any comments on the rear top mounting nuts?)]. Autoblog? eds say the little pick up is now dead (and the twins come in last - shutter Shreveport). Large pickups for grocery get'n are sitting on the lots. Walk away from the H2. Put together a pow-wow with GM, Mahindra or Tata or ?, and the Hummer franchisees and just change the name on the building and switch out the inventory. Although it seems that if a restaurant fails, almost every thing that uses that building seems to fail. We will find a body on frame with a modest towing capacity - don't need a one ton. The grocery getter truck bed is about as useful as a sedan. The gm wagon that wasn't, suv cuv whatever, a wagon will beat a sedan everyday if the gearing doesn't need to be changed to offset a toy motor-g v w and all that-look at what your capacity really is.
