Default GM in Tentative Deal to Sell Hummer

Just announced Tuesday June 2 that GM has found a buyer for HUMMER. Didn't say who it was but deal should close by year end.

"In early April, sources told Reuters that three bidders were in the running for Hummer, and that none of the bidders are automakers.

One bidder is from the United States and the other two are from overseas, the sources had said, adding that the bidders include private equity and wealthy individuals."

Fresh off the wire from CNN.com

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- General Motors Corp. has signed a deal to sell its Hummer truck unit to a Chinese industrial company, a person with knowledge of the deal said Tuesday.

Unhappy China!!!

CHINA! What the hell!
Sichuan Tengzhong Heavy Industrial Machinery Company Ltd. in China
Could it be worse?

The Harley came close to being bought out by the Japanese. So the Harley brothers and the workers bought it before it got into the wrong hands.

It will be a dark day.....

What's the big deal. They already build a near exact replica of the H1, so they should have some experience with Hummer production.





What would be a real dark day is when a Chinese company buys a large stake in Chrysler. Then they would have access to the M1 Abrams main battle tank!

Yup GM sells an american brand directly consumerized and related to the vehicles our armed forces use to the CHINESE.

Pissed is an understatement. My tax dollars fuel this instead of promoting the domestic bidder in all of this??? WTF.

Then again maybe it will be better for the brand. GM gave up on Hummer a year ago! Look at their advertising. The H3 has a postcard type brochure and when was the last time you saw a Hummer commercial on T.V. ?
