GM and Hummer to split?
Finally, GM is undertaking a strategic review of the Hummer brand to determine its fit within the GM portfolio. At this point, the company is considering all options, from a complete revamp of the product lineup to a partial or complete sale of the brand.
Wonderful, GM will become the "car-appliance" company, building little non-descript transportation machines for the ignorant masses. Love it or hate it, Hummer did what Saturn never could, give GM a division that everyone recognizes. Keep the brand, expand the offerings, killing it off would be brain-dead mismanagement, like handing Ford the police cruiser market in 1997.
As a former GM employee, I was never impressed with Rick Wagoner and I don't understand why he's lasted so long. The board should hand the company over to Lutz for a couple of years so he can clean house and put GMback in the black!

Give GM a chance and they will do the wrong thing. I guess killing off the Corvette would be next on the agenda. GM, got any other best in the world products you want to quit making? Let us know Brian.

They say we are not making money. i say bs. I am seeing more H3's out on the street now than i ever have. I beleive the pricing is such that people are starting to see that these really do cost less that the loaded silverados,suburban's and the comparable ford & dodges. It's all about the mighty dollar.
